PREP UP! (PEPENG is coming to town!)

Posted in Uncategorized with tags , , , , , , , , , on October 1, 2009 by Arven

As much as we all want to help the victims of Ondoy’s onslaught last Saturday fully, another storm is coming to reinforce what that bitch did.

According to PAGASA, PEPENG–with it’s international name, PARMA (sosyal!)–has potential to be a super typhoon, basing on the increase in winds and gustiness it has as it nears the Philippine lands. From an update, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geological and Astronomical Services (PAGASA) said that the coming storm is packed with winds 195 kph and gustiness of up to 230 kph. These are high numbers compared to what Ondoy had when it made Marikina, Cainta, Mandaluyong, QC, and other parts of NCR the largest mud pool the world has ever seen!

So what do we do?

The use of the New Social Media has been veryefficient in spreading out news and information for rescue and relief operations right after the tragedy that was Ondoy. Twitter, Facebook, and blogs were just a few of the many media that were proven to be very useful for these causes. And since it has been tested, why don’t we use it again? This time, to spread preparation and prevention information about this new bitch named PEPENG, or PARMA, or whatever you wanna call it.

Let’s all use our twitter accounts to send out advices on how we could prepare for the coming storm. If there are groups that would need help in rescuing or any related cause, tweet the info out:) Blog about the latest update about the storm. Or, make everyone in the online community know of the latest about areas that need help or of institutions that help. Use your social networking accounts (Facebook, Multiply, Friendster, MySpace, etc.) in checking out for your relatives. Reach out to them through these sites and update them with the status in the area where you are.

Remember, this time is high time for us to be prepared for another tragedy.

We do not want another of the Ondoy flood, right?
