There are several ways to learn of an approaching disaster, such as monitoring weather patterns, water levels, or knowing tsunamis often follow earthquakes. Local authorities, families, neighbors, and media can inform people what to do and where to evacuate. A local disaster management team can guide people on when to evacuate, what to bring, and where to go to stay safe. Communities may also have early warning systems like megaphones, bells, flags, or bamboo clappers to signal a hazard is approaching. It is important to pay attention to warnings from officials and people in your community.

the selection below.
EARLY WARNING
There are some ways we can learn that a disaster is coming, like
monitoring the weather, observing increasing water levels in rivers,
or knowing that a tsunami often follows an earthquake.
There are different people who can keep you informed about
what you should do and where you can go. This could be your family,
neighbors, and the media. Sometimes, police or local officials will also
inform you if you need to leave your home. You may even have a local
RC 143 Disaster Management Team that will help you in these times,
guiding you on when to evacuate, what to bring and where to go to
stay safe in times of disaster. Your community may have a local
warning system to announce if a hazard is approaching. This warning
system could be a megaphone, a bell, a rain gauge, a colored flag, or a
bamboo clapper. It’s important to listen, watch, and talk to people
around you.
