Are there some steps on what to do after a typhoon?

Answer 1

yes

Monitor and update yourself with the progress of the typhoon through radio, television or the internet (should this be accessible).

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.

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.

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.

Boil water before drinking as they may be contaminated.

Clean up. Dispose things that may be a ground for mosquitoes to breed. Such stuffs may include tires, cans or pots.
