Updates to the Contingency Plan as of 12 April 2013

We would like to inform the Filipino community that we are still on Alert Level 1 or heightened alertness. The community is advised to remain calm and to continuously monitor developments in South Korea.

Meanwhile, we would like to provide you with some important information to help you prepare in case tensions escalate. In case of an attack, it is important that we first follow the safety procedures ordered by the local government in your area. These safety procedures will apply to both Korean and foreign residents:

When an air-raid warning is issued, turn off gas valves and electrical appliances and go to a nearby shelter;
If you are outside when an air-raid warning is issued, follow safety staff to a nearby shelter. If you cannot find a shelter, hide and protect yourÂself any way you can.
If you are driving, park the car in an empty lot or on the right side of the road and evacuate to a safe place.
Follow the instructions of the National Emergency Management Agency.
Be prepared by checking where the designated shelters are located near your house or workplace, and have medicine kit, emergency items, etc. ready at all times.

It is also important that you know in advance the designated shelters in your own area and to coordinate with your area leaders (please see list below). Once movement from the shelters is allowed, Filipinos are advised to proceed to any of the different convergence areas as identified in the attached assembly points.

This is only advance information and there is no evacuation going on.
Thank you for your cooperation.
