During a Hurricane
1. Activate preparedness plan: - Have house boarded up or storm shutters in place;
- Have emergency kit (including food & water) available for use.
2. Act wisely:
- Stay away from low-lying & flood-prone areas (if your home isn’t on higher ground, go to a shelter);
- Always stay indoors – in a secure room away from windows (if that is not possible, go into a closet);
- Take cover in your bathroom or under a staircase/strong table/door frame (if your home shows signs of collapsing);
- Do not seal the house completely (open a door/window slightly on the side away from the wind);
- Sleep with clothing and shoes – preferably sport shoes, jeans and a long sleeve shirt (in case of immediate evacuation & to avoid delays/confusion).
