Answer 1

The following is a list of helpful hints that you can use before hurricane season, when a watch or warning is issued, before, during, and after a tropical storm, or hurricane strikes your area.

pre-season preparation:

    * Enter the season prepared.

    * Know all evacuation routes if you live close to the coast.

    * Make sure your home meets building codes for withstanding hurricanes, and they have storm shutters.

    * Have proper tools, supplies, and a first aid kit.

    * Have plenty of batteries and flashlights

    * Always have plenty of non-perishable foods on hand.

when a watch or warning is issued

    * Leave low lying areas.

    * Protect windows with plywood boards, or storm shutters.

    * Secure outside objects.

    * Make sure you have plenty of fuel and water.

    * Have several days supply of food and water for each family member.

    * If called to evacuate, do so immediately.

before the storm:

    * Be ready to put your plan and preparation into action.

    * Pay attention to local weather reports on radio, television, or the internet.

    * Have house boarded up, or have storm shutters in place.

    * Have plenty of food and water.

    * Make sure all your tools, supplies, and first aid kit available for use.

    * Have a secure room available.

during the storm

    * Stay in Secure Room.

    * Stay away from windows.

    * Do not use the phone, or candles.

    * Monitor Weather and Civil Service Bulletins on either regular or NOAA radio.

    * Have supplies on hand.

    * Remain indoors when the eye moves over your area because the storm will resume shortly.

After the storm

    * Make sure that all is definitely clear outside, and the storm has completely passed before going out.

    * Report downed power lines, and stay away from them.

    * Use stored water and food.

    * Be patient. Things will take a while before they get back to normal.
