The Department of Health-CHD Caraga reminds the general public on WHAT TO DO AFTER AN EARTHQUAKE:

-Stay Calm
-Check yourself for any injuries and seek medical help
-After you have taken care of yourself, help injured or trapped persons near the affected area.
-Inspect your home for damage. Examine walls, floor, doors, staircases, and windows to make sure that the building is not in danger of collapsing.
-Check for gas leaks, electrical system damage, and water line damage.
-Watch for loose plaster, drywall, and ceilings that could fall.
Use battery-powered flashlights to inspect your home. Kerosene lanterns, torches, candles, and matches may tip over or ignite flammables inside.
-Get everyone out if your home is unsafe.
-Listen to the radio or television for updated emergency information and instructions. Keep yourself informed about the latest updates on earthquakes and aftershocks through reliable sources such as PHIVOLCS-DOST and disaster management agencies. Refrain from spreading fake news that can lead to unnecessary panic and confusion.
-Stay out of damaged buildings. If you are away from home, return only when authorities say it is safe.
-To prepare for a possible earthquake recurrence, ready your supply kit: food (e.g. biscuits), water, clothing, first aid supplies, a mobile phone, a whistle, and a flashlight with extra batteries.

Kaligtasan sa Kalsada, Tungkulin ng Bawat Isa!

Protektahan natin ang ating sarili at kapwa sa kalsada sa pamamagitan ng tamang gamit ng DTI-approved na helmet at seatbelt.

Ayon sa World Health Organization (WHO),
➤ Ang helmet ay nakababawas ng 70% sa panganib ng matinding pinsala sa ulo.
➤ Ang seatbelt ay nakababawas ng 50% sa tsansa ng pagkamatay o seryosong injury kapag may banggaan.

Gawin natin ang ating bahagi sa pagpapaligtas ng buhay sa kalsada.
