____________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________ Tips for preparing for hurricanes and storms Check your house. Our homes are our sanctuary during storms; thus, we need to regularly check the integrity of our roofs, walls, etc even before the hurricane season arrives. Since our homes are normally our only defense against heavy rains and strong winds, we need to ensure that they can withstand severe weather conditions, especially if we live in hurricane prone areas.
Once a hurricane warning has been issued, we need to start boarding up our windows and doors. We also need to shut off our gas and electricity and make sure that all objects that can fall or fly around be removed.
Prepare for provisions When a hurricane warning has been issued, you need to make sure that you and your family has enough water and food to last for days. Be sure that you stock up on foods that can be eaten without cooking and do not need to be refrigerated. Moreover, you need to make sure that you have enough potable water for you and your family.
Aside from food, you need to have candles, matches, flashlights and batteries. In order for you to always be informed on what is happening, you need to have a battery-operated radio available.
Heed government warnings If the government has called for an evacuation, do not think twice. Follow the advice of the government. Just make sure that your home is properly secured before you leave.
Preparing for heat wave Extremely hot weather can be dangerous, particularly for young children, old people, and those with certain health conditions, such as mental illness, heart and breathing problems. Listen to the news. We need to closely monitor the situation and wait for warnings and bulletins issued by the government. Many people have died because they did not know they were in the midst of a heat wave and that it was unsafe for them to go out during the hottest part of the day.
Stay out of the sun It is advisable to stay indoors when there is a heat wave. If you must go out, you need to ensure that you are wearing proper clothing and have a protection against the sun, such as a hat, umbrella and sun screen. You also need to schedule your day so that you will be indoors from 11pm to 3pm, the hottest part of the day. Shower up to stay cool.
