Study Notes

Public Storm Warning

Public storm warnings are issued to alert the public of impending severe weather, especially regarding typhoon strength and signals.
Warnings aim to inform the public about the intensity and potential impacts of typhoons.

Flood Preparedness

Floods occur when water levels rise significantly in rivers, streams, and other bodies of water, inundating low-lying areas.
Key actions before a flood include tuning to radio, television, or the internet for weather updates (from PAGASA and NDRRMC).
Move to high ground to avoid floodwaters.
Place valuables on higher floors of a residence.
Turn off main electricity to prevent electrical shock or fire hazards.

Flood Response

Avoid areas covered by floodwaters, especially those with unknown depths.
Ensure cooked food is safe to eat after a flood.
Avoid consuming standing water after a flood.
Check for electrical and plumbing damage to prevent structural damage.

Rainfall Advisories

PAGASA issues colored rainfall advisories to communicate various levels of rainfall intensity.
Yellow advisory indicates a moderate rainfall risk.
Orange advisory signals a significant rainfall risk.
Red advisory warns of a severe rainfall risk and a higher potential for flooding.

Earthquakes are sudden ground movements caused by tectonic plate activity.
Key earthquake preparedness actions involve keeping an emergency kit, creating a family communication plan, and strengthening the house structure.
