“1,2, 3, READY, GET SET, GO”

In connection to last week Luzonwide flood, here are some tips on how to respond before and during it will happen from the movie entitled “Flood” directed by British filmmaker Tony Mitchell.

1.      Be updated

-          In the movie Keith Hopkins, Meteorological Officer head forecaster is the one who persuaded the Deputy Prime Minister to inform the public on the impending crisis if floods strike in the city and urban places in London. Hence, it is carried out that all affected places and people stay put with the news. They listen to what Meteorological office announcement.  

2.      Heed the authority if announcement to evacuate is given

-          In the film, the Deputy Prime Minister Campbell has declared a state of emergency. He begins to evacuate civilians from London before the water hits. He is assisted by the Police Commission Office and Disaster Management Bureau.

3.      Fixing the public infrastructures like canal and drainage to maintain their safety and proper functioning

-          In the movie, Engr. Leonard saves London by activating the barrier's controls before running out of air whilst underwater. In the same manner, the first reason why there is flood in the Philippines because blocked water ways brought by solid wastes is rampant.
