HURRICANE PREPAREDNESS
A hurricane watch is issued for a coastal area where there is a threat
of hurricane conditions within 24 hours or less.
Hurricane conditions include winds of 74 mph and/or dangerously
high tides and waves. Actions for protection of life and property should
begin immediately when the warning is issued. Preparations also are
advised when a watch is issued.
WHEN A HURRICANE WATCH IS ISSUED:
• Listen to a radio or watch television reports and monitor the
hurricane's position.
• Residents should develop a plan of action before the storm arrives.
Avoid a last-minute rush that might leave you marooned or unprepared.
• Check supplies, such as transistor radios and flashlights (make sure
they have fresh batteries). Have a supply of candles, matches and lamps
on hand. Canned goods or store packaged foods which can be prepared
without cooking and need no refrigeration should also be handv
WHEN A HURRICANE WARNING IS ISSUED:
• Leave low-lying areas, floodplains, beach homes and islands that
may be swept by high tides or storm waves. Residents living in mobile
homes should also leave for more substantial shelter. When leaving a
home, turn off electricity, gas and water at the mains.
• Moor your boat securely before the storm arrives, or evacuate it
to a designated safe area. When the boat is moored, leave it, and do not
return once the wind and waves are up.
• Board up the house windows, or protect them with storm shutters
or tape. Danger to small windows is mainly from wind-driven debris
Larger windows may be broken by wind pressure. Pre-cut boards, such
as plywood, can also be secured to protect windows. Such materials
should be stocked well in advance to avoid last minute rushes on stores
• Secure outdoor objects such as garbage cans, garden tools, toys,
signs and furniture that might be blown away or uprooted. Anchor them
or store them inside before the storm strikes.
• Store drinking water in clean bathtubs, jugs and bottles. The city’s
water supply may be contaminated by flooding.
• Keep gasoline in your car. Because of flooding or interrupted
HiTst’Ca 1^lrike:>SerViCe stations "ray b6 ^ORgrable for several days after
•Stay at home only if it is sturdy and on high ground. Ifitisnot, move
to a designated shelter and stay there until the storm is over. While in a
house during a hurricane, stay away from the windows that face the full
force of the wind.
• Remain indoors during the hurricane, and do not decide In mid-
storm to evacuate. Travel is extremely dangerous when wind and tides
are whipping though the area. f
• When evacuating, go to designated shelter areas. Stay out of
auditoriums, gymnasiums, and other structures with wide, free-span
roofs Take blankets sleeping baas, flashlights, special dietary foods,
infant needs and lightweight folding chairs. Also, take prescription
drugs, eyeglasses and important papers, such as driver’s license, insur-
ance policy and property list.
WHEN THE HURRICANE HAS PASSED:
• Seek necessary medical care at Red Cross disaster stations or
hospitals.
• Stay out of disaster areas.
• If electricity has been knocked out by the storm, turn off appliances
and light switches so circuits are not overloaded when power is restored.
• Beware of outdoor hazards such as loose or dangling power lines
and report them immediately to proper authorities. Also, washouts may
weaken road and bridge structures, so driving should be avoided until
authorities give the go-ahead.
