Now let us ask you, viewers, what could the officials have done to prevent the loss?

The officials could have been accurate with the power of the storm, like calculated the time and speed of the typhoon.

The officials should prepare contingency plan for any disaster specially during typhoon. Just like an emergency plan, a contingency plan is extremely useful if something goes wrong. By identifying potential problems, you'll be able to take action to prevent them from happening. A plan will also give clear instructions on what to do if an incident does take place.

I disagree, the officials were actually accurate with the readings however, the communication was the hard part.
