If an evacuation order is
issued: EVACUATE!

During the Storm

m Ifyou are not ordered to evacuate stay
inside in an interior room away from the
windows. Blowing debris can injure or
kill.

= Be wary of the “eye” of the hurricane. If
the storm center passes directly
overhead, there will be a lull in the
wind, lasting from a few minutes to half-
an-hour or more. At the other side of
the “eye” the winds will increase rapidly
to hurricane force and will come from
the opposite direction.

Travel is
extremely
DANGEROUS

Remain in shelter until informed by
authorities it is safe to leave.

Be alert for tornadoes. Tornadoes can
happen during and after a hurricane
passes over. Remain indoors, in the center
of your home, in a closet or bathroom
without windows.

After the Storm

If you evacuated, delay return until
recommended or authorized by
Officials.

Be careful of hazards caused by the
storm.

Use only bottled or stored water,
officials will indicate when water
supply is safe.

If electrical power was lost , check
refrigerated food for spoilage.

Do not eat food that could be
contaminated or spoiled.

Do not use candles as light sources.
Fires may result.

Stay alert for information about where
to apply for assistance.

Contact your insurance company to
report property damage.

Stay away from river banks and
streams until all potential flooding is
past.

More people are injured or
killed during the clean-up than
by the storm.
