3. TRIVI
A:Typhoons, cyclones and hurricanes
are the same weather phenomenon
– the difference is the geographical
area where they occur. They are
tropical cyclones with regionally
specific names.

ES
HURRICA
NEIn the North Atlantic, central North
Pacific, and eastern North Pacific,
the term hurricane is used
The same type of disturbance in
the Northwest Pacific is called a
typhoon
in the South Pacific and Indian
Ocean, the generic term tropical
cyclone is used

5. TRIVI
A:According to a 2013 Time
Magazine article, the Philippines is
"the most exposed country in the
world to tropical storms.
We call tropical cyclones as
“bagyo”

9. MID 20th
CENTURY
American forecasters have named
tropical storms after people, originally
using only female names.
NAMES OF
STORMS:

10. 1963
Philippine forecasters started assigning
Filipino names to storms following the
American practice, using names of
people in alphabetical order, from A to
Z.
NAMES OF
STORMS:

11. BEGINNING OF
JANUARY 2000
World Meteorological Organization's
Typhoon Committee began assigning
names to storms nominated by the 14
Asian countries who are members with
each country.
NAMES OF
STORMS:

12. AFTER JANUARY 2000
Filipino forecasters continued their
tradition of naming storms that enter the
Philippines Area of Responsibility and
so there are often two names for each
storm, the PAGASA name and the so-
called “international name”.
NAMES OF
STORMS:

13. TRIVI
A:In 1998, Pagasa launched the
“Name A Bagyo” contest where
Filipinos submitted names they
want used after typhoons that enter
the Philippines. Since then, the
weather bureau has been releasing
a list of typhoon names at the start
of every year, approved by the
WMO. Names repeat every after
four years

14. BEFORE A
TYPHOON

15. 1. Keep yourself updated. With the various media platforms, it is next to
impossible to not be updated of the supposed typhoon’s movement.
2. Check to see if there’s a need to fix your house such as holes on your roofs,
damaged doors, windows or ceilings. Have them fixed as soon as possible. Do
check as well your drainage system. If there’s clogging, have them fixed or
remove any material that may possibly cause the clogging.
BEFORE A TYPHOON

16. 3. Store ample amount of ready-to-eat foods and water. Make sure that the foods
and water that you will store is adequate enough for you and your family and will
last for few days.
4. If you have second or third floors or any part in your house that is elevated,
have your things especially those that generate electricity placed in there. This
will keep water from coming in contact with these stuffs.
BEFORE A TYPHOON

17. 5. If you are advised to evacuate, do so. These people who will inform you of the
need for evacuation are more knowledgeable than anyone else. So don’t be hard-
headed, at least not during this time of distress.
6. Always have your emergency kits with you. Your emergency kit may include
first-aid supplies, candles, flashlights, life vests and battery-operated radio.
BEFORE A TYPHOON

18. DURING A
TYPHOON

19. 1. If no advice to evacuate was announced, then better stay inside your house.
Keep yourself calm and postpone any scheduled travels.
2. Keep on monitoring the typhoon’s movement through your television, radio or
the internet.
DURING A TYPHOON

20. 3. If you see signs of water rising, better turn off the main sources of electricity.
Do keep your electric-powered items stored in higher areas and refrain from using
them during flood.
4. Do not wade along flooded areas to keep yourself from contacting water-borne
diseases. If it is inevitable, wear protective gears such as raincoats and boots to
protect yourself.
5. If you are told to evacuate, calmly comply.
DURING A TYPHOON

21. AFTER A
TYPHOON

22. 1. Monitor and update yourself with the progress of the typhoon through radio,
television or the internet (should this be accessible).
2. If your house was one of the heavily damaged, make sure that you heed to the
advice of the authorities regarding its safety and stability. If they are uncertain of
your house’s condition, do not go yet. If the house didn’t have that much damage,
have your house inspected and do the needed repairs immediately. Just be safe
in inspecting your house and avoid scattered debris.
AFTER A TYPHOON

23. 3. Watch out for live wires or any electrical outlet that may be submerged in
water. If you don’t have the sufficient knowledge on electrical wirings, have a
knowledgeable person inspect these wires as well as your appliances before you
actually use them again.
4. Wear protective gears such as boots. Water-borne diseases such as
Leptospirosis do not only spread out during typhoon but also after the typhoon.
The bacteria that cause this disease may still be present in moist soils or
scattered debris and if these contacts with your open wound, the chances of
developing such disease is very much likely.
AFTER A TYPHOON

24. 5. Boil water before drinking as they may be contaminated.
6. Clean up. Dispose things that may be a ground for mosquitoes to breed. Such
stuffs may include tires, cans or pots.
AFTER A TYPHOON

25. REMEMBE
R:Take care of our environment so it
will also take good care of us.
