Surviving Ondoy

===================================

SOME TIPS FOR SURVIVORS:

• Follow a normal routine as much as possible.
• Be careful not to skip meals.
• Stay active and busy.
• Distractions may help – reach out to other people in your community as a volunteer.
• Accept help from family, friends, co-workers, or clergy.
• Don’t dwell on TV, radio, or newspaper reports on the tragedy.
• Know that your unusual reactions are normal given what happened to you. They should taper off in time.
• Talk about your feelings with people.
• Feel free to see us if you wish for someone to talk to!
