Stay Informed, Be Prepared and Look After One Another
Rely only on official and verified sources for accurate updates. Avoid sharing unverified information that may cause unnecessary panic.
Every household should maintain an emergency “go bag” containing essentials such as:
- Drinking water and ready-to-eat food
- Flashlight and extra batteries
- First-aid kit and medicines
- Extra clothes and blankets
- Copies of important documents
- Whistle, power bank, and small radio
Keep this bag in an accessible place and make sure every family member knows where it is.
In times of uncertainty, compassion and cooperation keep our community strong. Check on your neighbors, especially the elderly, children, and persons with disabilities. If you have extra supplies or information that can help others, share them responsibly.
Preparedness should not end when the ground stops shaking. As a community, we can turn moments of fear into opportunities for collective resilience. By staying informed, preparing ahead, and caring for each other, General Santos City can continue to stand strong.
