Here in the Philippines, we are not a stranger with calamities and disaster. I remember my worst experience with a typhoon last Dec 2021 that left us with no electricity for months. All of us werent prepared. We thought it would just be a 1-2 day affair. 3 at most. So we didnt prepare solar lights, power banks, water, and food. Some of us even spent Christmas and new year in the dark. And yes, youre right, calmness really plays a big role in situations like this.

That's interesting...and in light of what happened in Dec 2021 howe have you prepared since and are you totally prepared for the next time it happens?
We now have a lot of solar lights kept in the drawer and power banks. For the food, we decided that we should at least stock some canned goods and noodles at home every time there's a typhoon announcement. We also now have a deep well in our house for water supply😊
Well done, I was worried for a minute there you'd say, we have nothing prepared.
Good work.
Hahaha. We sure did learned our lesson. Basic necessities that time was so expensive.
I know finding additional funds for emergency supplies and equipment can be difficult at times but the alternative, not having them, can be devastating. It's a balance I guess.
