Preparing for a big typhoon is very similar to being prepared for a big earthquake for individuals IMHO (see below). While typhoons are somehow predictable, earthquakes are not. Isn't being always preparing for an earthquake enough? Are you always prepared for an earthquake?
This time the only thing I prepared was not going out today and following the news closer. I prepared for the last typhoon and just left my stash in the same place permanently. I've got enough to live for 1 week with no problem (long-lived food, water, money, battery, etc).
Some exceptions/differences: 1st floor needs extra flood protection, for earthquakes make sure you know where the fire extinguisher is because fires are common, etc.
Same preparation: stay away of the big glass windows, follow the news closely, have enough to live for few days, check on friends and family, be ready to get out of the building ASAP if needed, know where shelters and safe areas are, etc.
