Hurricanes can be dangerous killers. Learning the hurricane warning messages and planning ahead can reduce the chances of injury or major property damage. Learn safe routes inland. Be ready to drive 20 to 50 miles inland to locate a safe place. Have disaster supplies on hand.
Sturdy shoes Make sure that all family members know how to respond to a hurricane.
Protect your windows. Permanent shutters are the best protection. A lower-cost approach is to put up plywood panels. Remember to mark which board fits which window. Pre-drill holes every 18 inches for screws.
