Typhoon Information

Typhoons and tropical storms can pose dangerous conditions due to high winds, potential flooding, and are common this time of year in the Philippines.  There are several good sources for tracking a developing storm’s intensity and direction.  Three particularly good ones are http://metocph.nmci.navy.mil , www.typhoon2000.ph , http://www.pagasa.dost.gov.ph/.   Also, www.ready.gov and www.americanredcross.org offer additional emergency preparedness plans for your review.

This announcement provides guidance on actions you can take to prepare for intense storms as they are approaching and what emergency supplies to have on hand well in advance of an approaching storm.
