A quick guide for families on emergency preparedness

Emergency preparedness for families
UNICEF Philippines

Every year, the Philippines is faced with the threats of flooding, earthquakes and landslides that often lead to loss of lives, homes, schools, livelihoods and access to essential services.

UNICEF works to uphold the Filipino child’s right to be protected from the risks of disasters.

Sa oras ng malaking sakuna, ang UNICEF at mga partners ay laging handa na magbigay tulong at sumuporta sa mga apektadong bata at pamilya. We work with the most vulnerable communities in protecting every Filipino child’s right to a safe environment, and equip every family with the knowledge they need to create a safer home for every child.

Ang bawat miyembro ng pamilya ay may role na pwedeng gampanan sa paniniguro na handa ang tahanan at ang buong pamilya sa anumang sakuna.

It is important for every child, parent, and family to know how to prepare for different natural hazards that could affect the area where they live. Maliban sa pisikal na kaligtasan, kailangan rin alagaan ng pamilya ang mental health ng bawat isa, lalo na ng mga bata, sa oras ng pangamba at sakuna.

Preparing for typhoons

Maging handa at alerto bago pa man dumating ang bagyo sa inyong lugar.

Kapag nag-landfall na ang bagyo, siguruhin na laging updated ang pamilya sa mga alert at warning ng LGU o barangay.

Kapag humina na ang hagupit ng bagyo, siguruhin na safe pa rin ang pamilya.

Preparing for earthquakes

Walang paraan para ma-predict ang paglindol, kaya kailangang siguraduhin na ang tahanan ay matatag at ligtas para sa pamilya.

Earthquake preparedness - Before

Ituro sa buong pamilya ang ‘Duck, Cover, and Hold’ action.

Pagkatapos ng lindol, stay calm at planuhin nang maigi ang ligtas na pag-evacuate ng pamilya.

Preparing for volcanic eruptions

Kung nakatira ang pamilya malapit sa bulkan, laging maging up-to-date sa alert level ng bulkan at warnings ng LGU at inyong barangay. Alamin kung kailangan mag-evacuate ng pamilya.

Kapag pumutok na ang bulkan, stay indoors, stay alert and stay calm.

Kapag tumila na ang pagbuhos ng abo, isuot pa rin ang goggles at face mask o basang tela bago maglinis, lalo na kung kailangang lumabas ng bahay.
