Typhoon Safety Tips

In preventing electrical accidents, a little care and vigilance goes a long way to help you avoid a good deal of damage, and ensure your family’s safety. Here are a few reminders to keep in mind:

	SNUG AS A BUG Stay indoors where you are protected from the typhoon.		TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT Keep a safe following distance between you and the vehicle in front of you. The distance between you and the vehicle will give you enough time to react and stop when necessary if the car in front of you suddenly stops.
STAY TUNED Monitor the storm's progress by listening in the news advisories and storm warnings.		HIGH AND MIGHTY Move immediately to higher ground. Water levels can rise where flash floods can occur.
	LONG GONE Stay away from coastal areas. Strong winds and currents can cause sea levels to rise quickly and result in storm surges.		I THINK I CAN, I THINK I CAN Do not drive a light vehicle through flood streets, you can either lose control or risk stalling.
GLASS HOUSE Stay clear from glass windows as they may shatter. Strong winds can carry various debris that may hit your windows. Broken glass can cause severe injury.		SHOW ME THE WAY Turn on your headlights and drive slower in the rain. Turning on your headlights alerts other drivers and also helps with your visibility.
