Emergency Supplies to Prepare Before a Typhoon

A checklist that’s great to review when typhoon search volumes spike.

When typhoon-related searches start trending on Google Trends, the first thing to do is not to keep refreshing the news but to check if you have the necessary supplies at home. Typhoons can bring strong winds, heavy rain, power outages, water supply cut-offs, flooding, and communication issues, making even a small item feel vital when the situation arises. This list organizes essential emergency supplies repeatedly mentioned in the safety guidelines from National Safety 24 (국민안전24) and the Korea Meteorological Administration (기상청), focusing on practical items to prepare at home. If you’ve already got dehumidifiers from the monsoon season, this is a good time to check your supplies in relation to typhoon-specific scenarios such as power outages, evacuation, window reinforcement, and flood prevention.

Rechargeable Headlamp

Rechargeable Headlamp for Hands-Free Use During Power Outages

During a typhoon, strong winds and lightning may cause sudden power outages. While candles pose a fire hazard, using a flashlight or your phone’s light is safer; however, headlamps offer the advantage of keeping your hands free. They are particularly useful for checking drains or assessing conditions outside your front door, especially when you need to move while looking after children or pets. If possible, choose a USB rechargeable model with brightness adjustment, water resistance, and a wide beam angle so that it can be used not just in emergencies at home but also for camping or roadside emergencies.

High-Capacity Power Bank

High-Capacity Power Bank to Stay Updated with News and Alerts

In a typhoon situation, smartphones become crucial tools, going beyond just a means of communication to include disaster alerts, weather updates, family location sharing, and emergency reporting. Preparing one or two fully charged power banks can greatly reduce anxiety during extended power outages. A high-capacity power bank around 20,000mAh may be a bit heavy, but it fits well in a family emergency bag and supports USB-C input/output and fast charging, making it convenient to alternate charging multiple devices.

Portable Disaster Radio

Portable Disaster Radio for Communication during Unstable Conditions

As typhoon damage increases, internet and mobile data may become unstable. Battery-operated or self-powered radios serve as auxiliary tools to check for weather warnings and evacuation information through broadcasts. A multi-functional product with a flashlight, siren, and USB charging capability is a great addition to an emergency bag. Even if you don't use it regularly, it’s wise to check whether it runs on batteries or is rechargeable and test its operation about every six months.

Home First Aid Kit Set

Home First Aid Kit for Minor Injuries and Emergencies

While clearing items blown away by strong winds or dealing with flooding, minor cuts, abrasions, and bruises are common. Your first aid kit should include essentials like antiseptic, sterile gauze, band-aids, elastic bandages, disposable gloves, and a thermometer, all organized in one go. If any family members are on medication, keeping a separate pouch with 2-3 days’ worth of their meds is advisable, and replacing expired antiseptics or ointments before the storm season adds an extra layer of safety.

Emergency Food Instant Rice & Canned Goods Set

Reliable Emergency Food Supply Set for When You Can't Go Out

During a typhoon, deliveries and grocery shopping may become difficult, and depending on your area, power outages or disruptions to the water supply may also occur. Having a 2-3 day supply of non-perishable foods such as instant rice, canned tuna or ham, cup soups, energy bars, and nuts will put your mind at ease. Given the possibility of not being able to use a microwave, it's practical to mix foods ready to eat and those that do not require a can opener.

2L Bottled Water Bundle

Secure Drinking Water in Preparation for Water Supply Cuts

When a typhoon is forecasted, it’s best to fill your bathtub or large containers with water for daily use, while preparing drinking water separately. Ensure you have enough bottled water based on the size of your family and anticipated duration of stay. Since water is heavy and bulky, keeping some close to the front door or alongside emergency bags makes it easier to grab if you need to evacuate quickly. Even if the expiration date is valid, it’s important to store it away from direct sunlight and high temperatures.

Absorbent Water Barrier Sandbags

Absorbent Sandbags to Protect Entrances and Basements

If your home or business is close to low-lying areas, semi-basements, or underground parking lots, preparing sandbags before the typhoon is necessary. Regular sandbags can be heavy and difficult to store, but absorbent sandbags can be stored thinly until they meet water and then expand to block gaps. While perfect flooding prevention is difficult, they help slow the influx of water and buy time to move valuables to safety. Measuring where and how broad to install them beforehand will prevent confusion when you need to act quickly.

Window Fixation Windproof Tape

Windproof Tape to Reduce Window Frame Shaking

During a typhoon, window damage often occurs more from the shaking of the frames and glass rather than from the glass itself. Having windproof and reinforcing tape ready to secure the edges and gaps of window frames can be beneficial. However, if your windows are old or already loose, tape alone won't solve the problem, so it’s essential to check them beforehand. Make sure to choose products that can minimize residue upon removal, suitable for silicone, aluminum frames, and glass surfaces.

Waterproof Pouch

Waterproof Pouches to Protect Smartphones and IDs

During a typhoon, if you need to evacuate quickly or step outside in the rain, it’s crucial to keep your smartphone, ID, and cards dry. Choosing a clear waterproof pouch that allows for operation of the phone makes it easy to check disaster alerts or maintain contact with family. It’s a good idea to verify whether the product guarantees full submersion protection, whether the lock is double-layered, and the strength of the neck strap before purchasing. Keeping enough for each family member in your home emergency bag enhances usability.

Raincoat · Poncho

Rain Gear that Allows Easier Movement than Umbrellas

In a typhoon situation, umbrellas can overturn or block your hands, posing additional risks. Raincoats or ponchos cover your body and bag at once, making them more appropriate when you need to use both hands for evacuation, getting in and out of vehicles, or tidying up around the front door. Choose thicker, reusable products with sewn finishes over thin disposable ones, and consider bright colors or reflective strips for added safety if you might be moving at night.

Waterproof Work Gloves

Waterproof Work Gloves Necessary for Cleanup Before and After a Typhoon

Before a typhoon, you may need to bring in items from the balcony and clear around the drains, and after the storm, you might have to manage wet trash or blown away items. Working bare-handed can expose you to glass shards, metal pieces, or contaminated water. It’s best to choose waterproof work gloves that cover the wrists and have anti-slip finishes. Keeping them next to your first aid kit or in a front storage area allows for quick access when needed.

Drainage Backflow Prevention Cover

Drain Cover to Reduce Odors and Backflow in Bathrooms and Balconies

Heavy rain in a short period can cause water or smells to backflow from sewers and drainage systems. While drain covers may not entirely prevent flooding, they can reduce odors and minor backflow. This product serves as a reminder to check your bathrooms, balconies, and laundry rooms ahead of time. Be sure to check the size of your drain beforehand and clean out hair or debris to ensure drainage isn’t significantly impeded.

Preparing for a typhoon isn’t about buying extensive survival gear all at once, but rather checking step-by-step if you can see in the dark, charge your phone, endure water and food shortages for a day or two, and temporarily block openings where water might enter. It's important to gather your prepared items in one place and ensure that your family knows where they are. Especially, checking battery levels, the expiration dates of your first aid kit, and the storage conditions of drinking water and emergency food supplies regularly will help you respond more comfortably when a typhoon is forecasted.
