What is the correct sequence of precautions to take before, during, and after a typhoon?

• A. I - II - III - IV
• B. III - II - I - IV
• C. II - IV - I - II
• D. IV - II - III - I

Answer: (D)

The sequence follows a natural flow: act first to prepare and secure things before the storm hits, then take protective actions during the storm, then assess safety and damage after it passes, and finally begin recovery. Starting with preparation reduces risk and sets up a safe plan for everyone. During the typhoon, staying indoors, away from windows, and staying updated helps protect you and others from immediate harm. After it subsides, checking for injuries, hazards, and official advisories ensures you don’t rush into dangerous situations. Finally, beginning cleanup and restoration while continuing to follow safety guidance gets you back on track. This order—prepare, shelter during, assess after, recover—fits the correct sequence.
