Storm Preparedness in the Philippines

As Tropical Storm continues to affect parts of the Philippines, it’s vital to raise awareness about storm preparedness and the necessary measures to ensure safety.

1. Secure Financial Protection with Storm Insurance

• Typhoon insurance coverage is vital in storm-prone areas like the Philippines, where storms pose a constant threat.
• Some leading insurance providers offering flood insurance and disaster insurance policies include:
  • Pioneer Insurance: Offers coverage for typhoons, floods, and other natural calamities.
  • Malayan Insurance: Specializes in comprehensive home protection policies, including coverage for typhoon-related damages.
  • AXA Philippines: Provides both personal and property insurance, covering typhoon and flood damage under its residential and business insurance plans.

2. Prepare an Emergency Kit

• A well-prepared storm preparedness kit is essential for your safety during and after a storm. Your kit should include:
• Non-perishable food and bottled water for several days.
• A first aid kit with medications and hygiene items.
• Flashlights, batteries, and emergency radios to stay updated on storm warnings and instructions.
• Include storm safety gear like waterproof clothes, sturdy shoes, and blankets for added protection.

3. Protect Your Property

• Protect your home by installing storm shutters to prevent windows from shattering in high winds.
• Contact flood protection services to fortify your house against potential flooding. Companies like HomeProtect and Pioneer Insurance provide consultations and coverage for flood prevention and repairs.
• Regularly inspect and maintain your roof, doors, and windows to reduce storm damage risks.

4. Stay Safe During the Storm

• Stay indoors during the storm and avoid traveling unless absolutely necessary.
• Know the locations of nearby emergency evacuation centers, and have a plan ready if you need to leave your home.
