Typhoon Preparedness and Evacuation
Based on recommendations from the Makati Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office, households should prepare clean water, canned food, flashlight, batteries, first aid kit, and important documents in waterproof bags. Mapua University students are also advised to keep student IDs and emergency contact numbers ready.
Barangays in Makati often designate evacuation centers such as the Makati High School Gym, barangay halls, and covered courts. Residents near the Pasig River are advised to relocate to higher ground or official centers announced by Makati City Hall. Always follow barangay officials’ instructions and avoid flooded streets.
During strong winds, stay indoors and unplug appliances to prevent electrical hazards. Keep communication lines open for updates from Makati Rescue (hotline 168) and barangay advisories. Students and residents should monitor Mapua University announcements for class suspensions and safety reminders.
