### Q2B. Prepare at least five Do’s and Don’ts draft for training of preparedness for Cyclone. [10 marks]

#### Answer

| Do | Do not |
| --- | --- |
| Monitor official forecasts and follow evacuation instructions. | Do not go out to sea or remain in restricted coastal areas against advisories. |
| Prepare safe shelter, essentials and support for people needing help. | Do not delay evacuation to protect replaceable belongings. |
| Stay away from windows in suitable shelter. | Do not treat a calm eye as the end of the storm. |
| Avoid flooded roads, fallen wires and damaged trees. | Do not cross floodwater or touch electrical hazards. |
| Use verified information and wait for clearance before returning. | Do not spread rumours or enter damaged buildings without assessment. |

Preparedness starts before strong winds and flooding make travel unsafe. Identify the designated shelter and route early; decisions depend on official local instructions and actual conditions.

#### Illustrative application · A school evacuation drill

A planned drill tests whether alarms are understood, routes are usable, people needing assistance receive it and everyone reaches the assembly point. The debrief identifies bottlenecks and changes the plan. Merely walking outside without review is an incomplete exercise.
