We all know that because of the topographic location of
our country is the reason why we are experiencing natural disasters.
Philippines is located in the Pacific Ring of Fire that’s why we are
experiencing earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Beside Philippine island is
the Pacific Ocean where typhoons are originating. Natural Disasters are
uncontrollable and unpredictable but we have one thing to do and that is to be
ready.
Natural disasters are uncontrollable. We don't have supernatural power to stop it we can lessen the loss of properties and lives by being ready. That is why it is so important to put time in planning and preparation before the disaster strikes. Disaster preparedness refers to the preventative measures taken to reduce the disaster effects.
In order for us to be prepared before a disaster strikes here are some ways to do before a disaster; For typhoon: Have emergency kits and
survival packs prepared these should contain medicine, cash, important
documents, whistles, and extra clothes. Store food and clean
water enough for three days. That’s two gallons of water per person per day. Prepare candles,
flashlights and extra batteries in case the power goes out. Listen to the radio or
watch TV for news updates. For earthquake: Make sure you have a fire extinguisher, first aid kit, a battery-powered radio, a flashlight, and extra batteries at home. Learn first aid. Learn how to turn off the gas, water, and electricity. Make up a plan of where to meet your family after an earthquake. Don't leave heavy objects on shelves (they'll fall during a quake). Anchor heavy furniture, cupboards, and appliances to the walls or floor. Learn the earthquake plan at your school or workplace.
If you stay ready, you won't have to get ready.
