How to Prepare Your Home or Condo for Emergencies and Natural Disasters

Preparedness is important in minimizing panic and reducing the dangers and distress during emergencies. Here are tips on how to prepare and what stuff you need around your Orie condo.

Create and Update Your Emergency Contacts

Updating your contacts and emergency hotlines is always needed so you can contact them just in case an emergency happens at home, and your natural disaster hotline when it inevitably happens so you can reach them whenever a problem emerges.

Prepare an Emergency Kit

An emergency kit with basic supplies is encouraged to have around the house or condo. Secure documents, medicine, first aid kit, alcohol, extra clothes, canned food, and bottles of water. You can keep a flashlight, charger, power bank, and extra batteries in your kit.

Do Regular Condo Safety Checks

Doing regular safety checks on your condo gives you an idea on how you can best handle an emergency or a natural disaster. Check everything around the condo like doors, safety systems, water and electrical systems, and more to minimize the cause of an emergency or to see what identifies as a potential hazard. Living in a premium condo like Orie with top-notch maintenance and security will give you peace of mind.

Sign Up for Emergency Alerts

Signing up for emergency alerts around your area can help you prepare for emergencies and natural disasters that might happen, so you can be alerted when a storm, fire, or earthquake hits.

Stay Updated with Local News

Staying updated with your local news via radio, newspaper, TV or online subscription can help you stay alert for news regarding any emergency or natural disaster around you so you can prepare in advance and figure out what you need to do.
