74 MEDIA KIT • Typhoon. Maximum wind speed near the center is 118 kilometers per hour or greater Impacts of a Typhoon • Loss of lives and property • Injuries • Disruption of public services and utilities, including communications, transportation of all types, electrical power, water supply and sanitation • Damage to roads, bridges, dams, runways and harbors • Damage and total destruction to agricultural farms • Massive fl oods and fl ash fl oods Typhoon Preparedness Preparedness is defi ned as the measures taken to reduce, to the minimum level possible, the loss of human lives and other damage, through the organizing of prompt and effi cient actions of response and rehabilitation. There are four main stages when preparedness activities should be undertaken: preparation for the typhoon season; when typhoon warnings are issued; during the typhoon; and after the typhoon Preparation for the Typhoon Season The purpose of actions here are to undertake long-term and annual practical and planning measures to reduce vulnerability in the event of a typhoon: • Check the house for weak points - loose or damaged wooden frame or wall cladding, loose or missing nails, termite or moisture damage to wooden structure - particularly the house corners and bracing. Make any necessary repairs. • Check the roof for loose sheeting or loose nails, etc. Use spiral thread nails for repairs. • Ensure that windows can be protected either by shutters (make some if necessary) or by taping.
chapter 3. useful information for the media • Clear trees and branches that overhang the house and any dead trees from around the house. • Make sure gutters are not broken and will take water to the tank if you have one. • Clear gutters, drains, creeks and streams of any debris so that they can carry rainwater away quickly and reduce the risk of fl ooding. • If you are planting crops, plant some in places where they are sheltered from the wind (taro under trees, etc.). • Livestock owners should identify a safe fenced enclosure, above fl ood level, to which their animals could be moved when a typhoon approaches. If none exists, neighborhood farmers might work together to prepare an appropriate enclosure. • Prepare a home emergency kit and make someone responsible for maintaining it (a good job for a 10 year old child). It should include: - Water containers with covers (large jars, soft drink bottles, etc.) - Dry or tinned food and a can opener - Plastic sheeting, bags and sacks - Battery powered or wind-up radio - Lighting (torch, candles or lamp with fuel and spare wick) - Spare batteries for the radio and torches, matches - First Aid Kit (bandages, clean cloths, antiseptic, antibiotic, pain reliever, etc.) - Any medicines that family members must take - Change of clothing for everyone - Rope/string, hammer and nails to tie things down NOTE: If some of the above items have to be in daily use, they should be listed as part of the emergency kit and brought together when a typhoon approaches. • Keep important documents in one place, preferably in a plastic bag, so that they are protected and can be collected quickly if evacuation is necessary. 75
