- Depending on disaster's strength properly protect glass windows or doors by boarding it up. If you live in a high risk hurricane area consider shutter's installation.
- If you got caught outdoors – find cover immediately.
- When you're inside stay away from glass windows, doors and skylights.
- The best place to stay in the house is by the main wall or in a corner – away from glass and falling objects.
- Remember not to drive unless it's extremely needed.
- Be aware of “hurricane eye”: it may seem that a storm has passed for a few minutes. However, it may shortly hit again even stronger than before.
