Typhoon Ondoy and Yolanda are two of the most powerful tropical cyclones that hit our country and, many people become affected by it. Many lives are taken by this natural disaster, many people got injured, and many families lost their shelters. From this experience, we will realize that life is very precious because every second of it is very important. We do not know when we will die, as well as we do not know how many sunrises we will encounter. Aside from that, we learned that we must care about our environment, stop abusing it, and let's start to care about our nature because every single thing matters. People must stop throwing garbage anywhere because it can cause a big problem when there is a flood. Also, instead of cutting trees, plant more trees as possible because it can reduce the flood. Always need to be prepared because these kinds of natural disasters are very dangerous and unstoppable.
Early evacuation can also help in this kind of situation. We always need to listen and follow the authorities for our safety. Don’t be so stubborn if the authorities announced that everyone needs to evacuate because they only care for everyone’s safety. Also, we need to prepare all the important things that we need, such as copies of personal documents, extra cash, extra batteries, flashlight, food, water, and many others that you will possibly need. Then to our government, they always need to be ready to respond to all the affected people. The rescuers always need to be prepared because this kind of natural disaster is unpredictable. They need to respond as soon as they can because time is very important in this kind of situation. Additionally, from this experience, we learned that sometimes we need other people to help us, and we can survive everything if we believe in God.
