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
