Evacuation and ayuda(aid) are the preparation and solution respectively... - Reynante Conel Nilo Poor gullible people are now prepared to adjust themselves to calamities by voluntarilly vacate themselves from the their areas since they cannot trust people from the government anymore. Lookout what happen to Luzon when they badly hit hard by typhoons yet ayudas(aids) were distributed in Davao instead of Luzon... - Roy R. Fajardo That not bec of proper planning…. Its because of resiliency and hopelessness .. that Filipinoes can only get relief from family and relatives before government... Yes, Filipinos have experience in facing disasters. Thanks to the previous and current presidents. Not to mention makoy, erap, goya... Ayaw kong mag-aral sa harvard... (I don't want to study at Harvard.) Baka Harvard University Cubao campus ito... (Maybe it's Harvard University Cubao campus.)

Simply build houses away from flood prone areas, build a house thats typhoon and earthquake resistant, avoid super congested urban areas to prevent your house from burning out along with nextdoor neighbors because AYUDA is limited only...the government should create a floodway channels so the rainwater will be fast to subside... Hard for the Filipinos to say they are fully prepared. The bottom line ..... the Flood Control Projects infrastructures recently built not prepared or capable to handle the heavy density of rains as it had happened during Carina & Kristine Typhoons. Lubog ang Bicol and almost places in Metro Manila... Around the world these disasters have been hitting and no city or country has been prepared for this magnitude of Mother Nature. ..
