Community Support and Self-Preparedness

While no one wishes for storms, they do remind us of the importance of community and collective resilience. Extend a hand to neighbors who might require support—especially the elderly or people living alone. Creating an ad hoc community support system enhances safety and assures everyone that they are not alone.

Moreover, taking personal initiatives like assembling an emergency backpack with essentials such as food, water, medicines, and extra clothing goes a long way. Always have one ready-to-go should the situation demand a sudden evacuation.
