With Cyclone Biparjoy approaching the Karachi coast, all of us need to prepare ourselves and those around us and to take all necessary precautions to ensure safety, such as staying indoors, securing doors and windows, and avoiding flooded areas, especially those where loose electrical wires may have fallen.

It is just as important to prepare an emergency kit with first-aid supplies and medicine, a flashlight, batteries, food, and water, and to keep phones, power banks, and other necessary electronic devices charged. Also, keep yourself updated with weather alerts and act accordingly.

Be careful and stay safe!
