The Philippines is most likely to experience tropical cyclones whole year-round. I was one of those who needed preparation and precaution about the past typhoon Yolanda. It was a deep regret after the calamity happened.
Now that typhoon Odette has come, I learned my mistake.
Truth trampled me that for us to be safe and eventually help others, we also have to be equipped with the necessary things that we can utilize when typhoon comes.
I went to the market to buy some groceries needed at home, a few days before happened after work. I watched the news on the television after dinner. It's a way of knowing when and where the typhoon will hit.
With the era of new technology today, it's easy for us to know what's happening in the world. Social Media is one of the tools that keep us updated about typhoons, earthquakes, and a lot more.
It is essential to seek information during typhoons to prepare the necessary things we need. And to keep posted about it. We could also take some actions before we get affected by the latter.
Food is life. It's an essential power to keep our souls alive.
I prepared some ready-to-eat and instant food to reduce the usage of gas; sardines, tuna, beef loaf, corned beef, noodles, and canton. I bought vegetables that may not have rotten right away and need a short time to cook. Of course, I love eating in between meals, so I have biscuits and bread. 😂
From what I've learned, drinking eight glasses of water a day keeps some diseases away. It has a vital role in functioning the different systems in our body. Science lesson, right?😂 That is why we shouldn't miss preparing this. We also use this especially doing household chores.
I make sure that it keeps the fire burning when I need it. So, we should check it first if there's still gas inside. How? I carry it. If it's still heavy, then there's still some gas inside. ;) I can't cook rice if I don't have this. I don't want my family to famish.
We can't predict some circumstances that may occur in our bodies. Of course, nobody wants that to happen. It's good to prepare some medicines at home lest we need them the most.
It was a dilemma before when we didn't have this because won't be updated on what was happening around us. I couldn't contact my parents and sister when my phone was on low battery. I can't charge the flashlight. As you can see, it's a lot better than having nothing to keep the batteries alive.
In short, it always helps a lot during power shutdown.
A flashlight illuminates our home. We can hardly move or do some activities when it's dark; we can't do what we need to do. It is recommended during typhoons because usually, it will have hours of power interruption.
Flashlights give comfort in the absence of electrical power. I'm thankful to the one who invented it.
Cellphones make us connect with the people we love and ask for help.
Cellphones were able us to keep in touch with our family, use them during an emergency and even update us on what's going on in our society. Cellphones make us connect with the people we love and ask for help.

We should be proactive in our daily lives by taking full responsibility for the situation in which our energy is in control.
We can no longer be in that much panic, fear, stress, and anxiety if we are ready for a cataclysm that may come soon. It's always best to get ready every day.😘
In all aspects of our lives, readiness seems comforting and gives essential that may contain us to some emotional problem during the disaster. I can say that I have improved or developed a lot. I have matured not only by talking about preparedness but also other things.
We shouldn't neglect the reminders by our Local Government Unit's message regarding catastrophe.
How about you? How do you prepare for the upcoming holocaust? Are we the same?
