MANILA, Philippines – When disaster strikes, do you know what to do?

The Philippines is prone to a lot of natural hazards since it rests in the Pacific Typhoon Belt and on the Pacific Ring of Fire.

Besides volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and floods, the country faces an average of 20 typhoons a year.

Dubbed “The Big One,” the earthquake may happen in our lifetime, experts say. (READ: How to know if your area is near a fault line)
