DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — If cyclone plus flood: shelter from wind first unless surge ordered.
DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — Write down family status and location when networks busy.

MYTH: DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — After surviving first disaster the worst is over
REALITY: DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — Secondary hazards often cause more deaths — tsunami after quake, flood after cyclone.
DANGER: DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — Killed by second hazard while recovering from first.
DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — Compound events stack hazards when one trigger causes others.
DEVELOPMENT FIXTURE — Decision fatigue kills when people hesitate between warnings.
