To ensure safety, Dapat Lang prepared during disasters.

Natural
disasters can neither be controlled nor predicted. But while they can leave
catastrophic damages, everyone can take precautionary steps to mitigate its
adverse effects. Solane, the country’s leading LPG solutions provider,
reiterates its Dapat Lang advocacy campaign – emphasizing the importance of
doing the right thing for the family, for others, and society as a whole –
through these tips to ensure everyone’s safety during natural disasters:
Prepare an
emergency kit
An important
step in preparing for unforeseen events is having an emergency kit ready for
you and your family. Basic supplies kit should include: a gallon of water per
person per day for the next three days, three-day supply of food, flashlight,
extra batteries, first aid kit, seven-day supply of medicines, multi-purpose
tools, cell phone with chargers, family and emergency contact information,
copies of personal documents, extra cash, blankets, maps of the area.
Safety during
fire
Some of the
common causes of fire, especially during natural disasters like earthquake, are
faulty electrical and gas lines. If you are caught in an establishment engulfed
by fire, immediately vacate the area and ask for help. Do not hide in closets
and small spaces, and remember to stay low and crawl as it is easier to breathe
in a fire if you stay low.
Plan your
escape routes and safe places
It’s important
to have a sketch of your house so you know how to immediately get out when
disaster strikes. Establish and record location of your meeting area, and be
sure to practice this with your family members.
Be informed
Know the
hazards within your community, and ask the local authorities about the
emergency plans and warning signals. Being informed will help you gather a
detailed plan for your own household.
With proper
preparation, you are not only alleviating fear, anxiety, and loss but you are
also reducing the impact of catastrophic disasters.
