The best and most advised course of action during a storm is to seek shelter. A room in your home with no or few windows would be the best location.
People who are confined indoors for days due to a hurricane may become anxious and start to walk around or attempt to leave the area as soon as the storm appears to be subsiding or is over.
Therefore, it is wise to refrain from doing anything risky just after a storm. Wait until you hear an official "all clear" announcement before leaving your home.
Avoid attempting to drive or explore the area to assess the damage.
Avoid interacting with any low-hanging wires or trees that are near power lines.
Keep a watch out for any potentially unstable buildings near your building, such as porches.
