Protect your property - Without taking any unnecessary risks, protect your property from damage. Temporary repairs can reduce your overall losses. Stay clear from all windows and glass doors - Move furniture away from exposed doors and windows. As wind direction changes, move to another room. Keep a continuous communications watch - Keep radio or television tuned for information from official sources.
Unexpected changes can sometimes call for last-minute reallocations.
Don't travel farther than necessary - Roads may be jammed. A stranded auto may become a coffin. Lock winds and doors - Check to see that you have done everything to protect your property from damage and loss. Carry along survival supplies - first aid kit, canned or dried provisions, can opener, utensils, bottled water, family medication, spare eyeglasses, hearing aid, hearing aid batteries, etc. Keep your important papers with you at all times - insurance policies, property inventory, medic alert or device to convey special medical information.
