If you live in a mobile home, secure your mobile home tie downs. Prepare materials to cover all window and door openings. Check batteries and stock up on canned food, first aid supplies, drinking water and medications. Prepare to bring in the lawn furniture and other loose, lightweight objects, such as garden tools, garbage cans, etc. Make sure you have with you extra cash in case of an emergency.
Mobile homes are unsafe in high winds, no matter how well they are tied down.
Live on or near the coastline, an offshore island, or near a river or a flood plain. Live in a high-rise building. Hurricane winds are stronger at higher elevations. Complete preparation activities, such as putting up storm shutters, storing loose objects, etc. Collect your Disaster Supply Kit along with blankets, sleeping bags, etc. and keep them with you.
