Typhoon Warning

forwarded from Max's mission president:



There is a large typhoon forecast to make landfall in the Philippines on Tuesday (see forecast track below).  It is forecast to go south of us, but it may change direction.  Even if it goes south the large diameter of outer rainbands will probably affect our weather and storms signals will probably be raised, especially for Masbate and Sorsogon.  It is passing very close to Masbate.  Winds in most of the mission can exceed 55 kph and in areas in the south it could exceed 100 kph.  Heavy rains are expected in most areas of our mission.

Please review your emergency plans, make sure you have a 72 hour kit stocked and you have a supply of drinking water in your apartment.  If storm signals are raised in your area you need to take extra precautions.  Stay away from coastal areas as there is a very large storm surge with this storm.   With Signal 2 or above you need to be in your apartment unless an evacuation order is given and then you will gather to the evacuation center.  We will keep you updated by text of any storm signal.

Remember, Be Wise so you will be safe.
