Hi everyone, I just got home and watched news about the earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan. Here are the areas in the Philippines that must be prepared:
I was ignorant which areas are alerted until I logged onto Facebook. If you are in the affected areas please evacuate and be safe. It is better to be prepared than sorry and I know most Pinoys love to shrug their shoulders rather than prepare. I was getting prepared and my mom (who is as nervous as I am) was telling me not to panic.
Mommy tip: Put your valuables in one bag, ready your flashlights, charge your communication devices, and alert all housemates on what to do. Plan an escape route should something happen, keep calm, and be alert.
I am caught off-guard and realized I do not know how and what to prepare for a disaster, except for the few things I mentioned above. Here is a link on how to prepare for an earthquake:

Lastly, tell your children to be vigilant without traumatizing them. Explain the science of things and teach them how to take care of themselves in case of emergency.
After this day I will surely read up more on disaster preparation and so should everybody else.
Stay safe! đŸ™‚
