Natural disasters are totally unpredictable. Although technology nowadays can help predict disasters such as hurricanes, no one really knows when exactly it will happen. The best way to deal with them is by being prepared. Here are some tips on how to stay safe during natural disasters such as hurricane or storm.
During a natural disaster, stay in a safe area or shelter until you have been ordered to evacuate. Prepare all the things needed when an order to evacuate is announced.
Listen to your portable radio for important news and updates about the situation. Power outage may be possible during disasters, thus, it is important to always keep a battery-powered radio or other radios with multiple power sources in your survival kit. Of course, if flooding is possible in your area, make sure to shut off the main source of power. This is to prevent electrical hazard.
Always secure your survival kit. Your survival kit must include medicine, food, battery-powered radio, flashlights, and other necessary kits for survival that could last for several days.
When there is power outage, use a generator with caution. Make sure that it is properly working and all conditions are safe before operating the generator.
After the disaster, always make sure that the surrounding is already safe. Watch out for lingering storms or floods. Continue to monitor weather conditions by listening to radio forecasts.
