NOEMI LARDIZABAL-DADO

Did you know the Philippines is hit by an average of 20 typhoons a year? Our country is vulnerable to natural disasters and in emergency situations, it is important to use all available channels of communications such as social media, print, radio, and TV broadcasting, two-way radio systems, and SMS.  Based on a WeAreSocial 2018 Global Digital suite of reports, there are 67 million Philippine internet users with 62 million active social media users. Let’s continue to use our smartphones and internet connection in our disaster preparedness. Social media can provide us with emergency updates before any natural disaster hits our country and when power interruption cuts us off from monitoring.
