What to do Before, During, and After a Typhoon
October 25, 2021
Before a Typhoon:
- Have a disaster plan
- Board up windows
- Know where all the evacuation routes are
- Prepare a disaster supply kit for your home and car
- Have enough food and water for at least three days, including a first aid kit
- Have some cash handy - banks and ATMs may be temporarily closed
- Make sure your car is filled with gasoline
During a Typhoon:
- Stay away from low-lying and flood-prone areas
- Leave mobile homes and go to a shelter
- If your home isn’t on higher ground, go to a shelter
After a Typhoon:
- Check for injured or trapped people without putting yourself in danger
- Watch out for flooding, which can happen after a typhoon
- Do not attempt to drive in flooding water
- Stay away from standing water - it may be electrically charged from underground or downed power lines
- Don’t drink tap water until officials say it’s safe to do so
