Safety Reminders and Preparedness
Please observe all local advisories and remember these crucial safety steps:
1. Stay Indoors and Monitor Updates: Remain in a safe, sturdy shelter and continuously monitor official weather bulletins from PAGASA and advisories from the Pototan LGU and MDRRMO.
2. Prepare Emergency Kits: Ensure your emergency kit (Go Bag) is readily accessible. It should include water, non-perishable food, flashlights, batteries, first aid supplies, important documents, and necessary medicines.
3. Secure Your Homes:
Tie down or bring in loose objects (like flowerpots, chairs, or zinc sheets) that could be turned into projectiles by strong winds.
Turn off your main electrical switch** if your house is prone to flooding or if water has entered your dwelling.
4. Avoid Floodwaters:
Never attempt to walk, wade, or drive through floodwaters. Even shallow water can conceal hazards like open manholes or fast currents, and it may be contaminated.
If you are in a low-lying area, heed all evacuation orders immediately.
Look Out for Your Neighbors:
Check on the elderly, the sick, and those living alone in your vicinity. A simple knock on the door or a call can make a world of difference. Community solidarity saves lives.
Let us all remain vigilant, calm, and supportive of one another. We will get through Typhoon Tino safely!
