The rainy season may mean cooler days but it also brings
thunderstorms, floods, and strong winds that can cause accidents or lead to
calamities.
Solane, the country’s leading LPG solutions provider,
tries to help its clients remain safe and secure by reinforcing its Dapat Lang
advocacy campaign, which emphasizes the importance of doing the right thing for
the family, for others, and society as a whole. Solane suggests precautionary
steps families can take to protect lives and properties during inclement
weather:
Be informed and stay alert. Be informed to avoid
flashfloods, lightning and other dangerous conditions during the rainy season.
Monitor your surroundings and keep track of the weather forecast through the
internet, TV, or radio.
Prepare a disaster kit. Pack a disaster kit to sustain
the family in the event of severe weather conditions. Kit should have essential
items that will last for at least three days like potable water, first aid kit,
medicines, food that doesn’t require cooking or refrigeration, portable and
battery-operated radio, flashlights, and extra batteries.
Safety during lightning. Stay indoors during
thunderstorms. Unplug electronic devices, including TV, computers, home
entertainment systems, and corded phones inside the homes as they may cause
electrocution or fires.
Be prepared to evacuate. Discuss evacuation plans with
family and specify a meeting place when separated. Set the safe places to go to
during strong rains and flood. Know the alternative routes to take to avoid
flooded areas.
With proper and careful preparation, you and your family
can avoid the dangers of the rainy season.
