Turn off utilities if told to do so by authorities. Turn off propane tanks. Unplug small appliances. Stay inside a well constructed building. In structures, such as a home, examine the building and plan in advance what you will do if winds become strong.
Strong winds can produce deadly missiles and structural failure.
Take refuge in small interior room, closet, or hallway. Take a battery powered radio, a NOAA Weather Radio, and a flashlight with you to your place of refuge. Close all interior doors. Secure and brace external doors, particularly double inward opening doors and garage doors. If you are in a multiple-story building and away from the water, go to the first or second floors and take refuge in the halls or other interior rooms away from windows.
