 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
AFTER A TYPHOON
 Have a knowledgeable person inspect
electrical wiring before using electrical
appliances. It is usually advisable not to use
appliances immediately after a typhoon
especially if your house got flooded.

 Check for any damage, including water

pipes, and help make necessary repairs as
soon as possible.
 Boil water before drinking it to avoid
getting sick.o Wear slippers, shoes or other
footwear, for protection from any sharp or
pointed objects that might have fallen.
 Avoid electrical wires that have fallen.
 Stay away from flood waters. They carry
water-borne diseases. Many people who
have survived a storm but braved flood
waters actually have been hospitalized, not
just for injuries or diarrhea, but also to the
deadly leptospirosis. Leptospirosis is also
known as Weil’s syndrome, and is caused
by bacterial infection when dirty water
contaminated with animal urine (commonly
rats) comes in contact with a person’s
unhealed wounds or scratches, newly
pedicure nails, a person’s eyes, or with
mucous membranes (like in skin, nostrils,
mouth, lips, eyelids, ears, genital area and
anus).
 Clean and clear everything damaged by the
typhoon. o Stay in a safe place with a
