- Monitor your local TV and radio stations
- Fuel your vehicles and generators
- Check your disaster supply kit
- Cover windows with plywood
- Bring in all furniture, toys and any other objects that could become missiles
- Move boats to a safe and secure place

If you stay in your home during a hurricane and are not in a flood prone area:
- Fill bathtubs and all available containers with water
- Turn off utilities, if requested
- Remain indoors in a closet, bathroom or hallway on the lower level of your house, away from windows
