Supersports typhoon (andanews)

The Super Ragasa Topan is in the world's spotlight because of its extraordinary wind power. This phenomenon is predicted to have a major impact on countries in Asia. For this reason, people in disaster-prone areas need to be vigilant and understand the serious threat from this typhoon.

In addition to causing infrastructure damage, major typhoons such as Ragasa also have the potential to disrupt economic and social activities. Therefore, it is important to know how to anticipate so that people remain safe and can minimize disaster risk.

Reporting from the Wikipedia page, Typhoon Ragasa, which is based in the Philippines known as Super Topan Nando, is a very strong tropical storm that hit the northern part of Luzon (Philippines), Hualien Regency (Taiwan), and now also has an impact in South China, Hong Kong, and Macau.

To date, Ragasa has been recorded as the most powerful typhoon in 2025. This Typhoon first formed from a collection of storm clouds in northern Yap on September 17. Initially it was only in the form of tropical depression, then a day later it increased to a tropical storm and was named Ragasa by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA).

Interestingly, in two days the strength of the storm continued to grow until it officially became a typhoon on September 19, then it experienced a drastic increase so that it reached the category 5 super typhoon level with a maximum wind speed of about 270 km/hour.

Typhoon Ragasa then landed on Panuitan Island, Cagayan (Philippine), carrying heavy rain and strong winds that hit most of North Luzon. While moving into the South China Sea, its strength began to weaken, but it remained dangerous.

Meanwhile, while passing near Hong Kong, local authorities issued Hurricane Signal No. 10, the highest storm signal that is rarely used.

After that, Ragasa landed again on Hailing Island, Guangdong, China. The impact of this typhoon was enormous, triggering flash floods and landslides in the Philippines, Taiwan and Hong Kong. At least 25 people died, 133 were injured, and 46 people were declared missing as a result of the disaster, including the breakdown of the Matai Dam in Taiwan.

Reporting from the EcoFlow page, early preparation is a rescue step when the typhoon approaches. When warnings of strong winds from the BMKG are announced, you and your family must act immediately so that disaster risks can be minimized, here are some things you need to prepare:

Make sure the windows, doors, and roofs are safe. Use a wooden board or strong material to cover the glass, tie the tin roof with steel wire, and replace the brittle part. Clean the waterways so they don't get clogged, then put the sandbag on the door as a flood barrier.

In addition, don't forget to secure items outside the house, such as pot or dried plants, and cut tree branches near the house.

Each family member should have a bag containing drinking water (12 liters), ready-to-eat food (9 servings), routine medicine for at least 7 days, cleaning equipment, and N95 masks. Keep this bag in a waterproof backpack near the exit door to facilitate evacuation.

Land certificates, birth certificates, or diplomas need to be protected with water-proof plastic, fire-resistant containers, and digital copies in online storage. Share access to trusted family members.

Determine two routes to safe locations such as schools or village halls, and avoid flooding roads. Then for assignments starting from parents carrying standby bags, children wearing whistles and identifications. In order not to be surprised, carry out evacuation simulations once a month with a target of 10 minutes.

Join the emergency group RT/RW or official applications for real-time info. Identify neighbors who need special assistance, and prepare joint equipment such as ropes, buoys, and cutting tools.

Thus, the readiness of families and communities is key. As evidenced by major storms in other countries, trained communities can significantly reduce fatalities.
