WHAT SHOULD WE DO?

Before evacuating, do I have to pack a go bag for emergency situations?

excellent!

You are well prepared for the upcoming typhoon and you took every precautionary measure, including evacuating, preparing emergency supplies and repairing your roof for extra protection during the typhoon.

nice try

You prioritized your immediate evacuation, which showed your initiative and urgency to maintain your safety, yet your disaster preparedness could be improved by preparing and packing emergency supplies as well as taking the extra-precautionary measure of fixing damaged areas of the house to lessen damage during the typhoon.

nice try

You are confident in your household’s safety yet it is of utmost importance to remember that local authorities suggesting evacuation is not to be taken lightly. Your choices to prepare emergency supplies, lift furniture to higher places and repair the roof show that you have basic knowledge in typhoon preparedness.

what happened?

The following choices you made were alarming. You have put yourself at risk and in immediate danger of the typhoon, you need more knowledge in disaster risk reduction and community preparedness. Be cautious during local calamities and listen intently to news reports and announcements by local authorities.
