Disaster Preparedness Checklist for Typhoon

Use this disaster preparedness checklist for typhoon to become familiar with what to do when a typhoon, hurricane, or cyclone hits. Prepare for such an event by doing the following: 1) Be familiar with alert levels in your area (e.g., hurricane watch vs hurricane warning), 2) Install a generator for power outages, 3) Cover all windows with storm shutters, 4) Bring in anything that can be picked up by the wind, and 5) Be aware that while it's generally recommended to go to lower ground when a typhoon occurs, going to a higher ground may also be necessary if there is flooding.
