Resources for people affected by Typhoon Mawar

When disaster strikes, often people react with increased anxiety, worry, sadness, anger, or other strong feelings of distress. With support from community and family, most of us are able to bounce back. However, some may need extra assistance to cope with unfolding events and uncertainties.

Kapag may mga sakuna, karaniwang reaksiyon ng mga tao ang pagkakaroon ng higit na pagkabalisa, pag-aalala, kalungkutan, galit, o iba pang pakiramdam o kahirapan. Sa pamamagitan ng suporta mula sa komunidad at pamilya, karamihan sa atin ay nakakabangon muli. Gayunpaman, maaaring kailangan ng iba ng karagdagang tulong para harapin ang mga nangyayari at kawalan ng kasiguraduhan.
