Keep your radio open and try to get the latest bulletin from the capital of your country.
Pay no attention to rumors. Rely on the official weather bureau warnings and bulletins.
Stay away from low-lying beaches or other locations which may be swept by high tides or storm waves. If your only passage to high ground is over a road likely to be under water during a severe storm, then leave early. Do not run the risk of being marooned.
If your house is out of the danger of high tide and is well built or anchored, then it is probably the best place to weather out the storm.
Board up windows or put storm shutters in place. When you board up, use good lumber securely fastened. Makeshift boarding may do more damage than good.
Get extra food, especially things which can be eaten without coking or with little preparation. Remember that electric power may be cut off.
If emergency cooking facilities are necessary, be sure that they are in order.
Store water as water service may be affected and be cut off.
Have a flashlight in working condition and keep it handy.
Check on everything that may be blown away or turn loose. Flying objects become dangerous during typhoons.
Be sure that windows and doors can be opened on the other side of the house- opposite the side facing the wind.
If the eye of the tropical cyclone passes over the place, there may be a lull lasting for a few minutes to half an hour. Stay in a safe place. Make emergency repairs during the lull if necessary but remember the wind will return suddenly from the opposite direction, frequently with even greater violence.
