Hurricane Precautions

Before the hurricane:

Decide whether you will:

• Go to a designated shelter.
• Go to a safer place inland.
• Ride out the storm in your home (if local authorities permit you to stay).

Make sure your relatives know where you will be.

• Plan an escape route.
• Stock plywood and materials you may need to board up windows before you leave.
• Move garbage cans and other large objects inside the house or garage.
• Secure boats and cars left behind.

During the hurricane:

If you go to a shelter or inland, go directly there.

If you stay home, stay indoors and away from windows and glass doors. Get on the opposite side of the house from the wind.
