Keep the TV or radio on to get the most recent information. Local authorities may issue new orders as the storm progresses. If your power goes out, flip on your battery-operated radio. It is possible for water service to be interrupted during a hurricane. To avoid problems, fill the bathtub and several large buckets with water. That way, you'll be able to pour water down the toilet in the absence of flushing, and you'll be able to wash yourself. In the event of a power loss, all of the food in your refrigerator and freezer could go bad. Keeping these on the coldest setting will help keep your food cold for as long as possible if you do lose power. Open the doors as little as possible to trap the cold air inside. If you have a propane tank attached to your house, turn it off during the storm. Storm damage could sever a gas line, which causes an explosion or fire risk. Strong winds can send projectiles through windows and cause injury. If your windows aren't boarded up, stay away from them. It might be difficult to get medical attention during the storm, so avoiding injury is a top priority. The safest thing to do during a hurricane is stay indoors and wait the storm out. Whether you're at home or in an evacuation shelter, you should stay inside for the duration of the storm unless there is a serious emergency. Stay tuned in to news stations and wait until they have confirmed that the storm has passed before going outside. Beware of lulls. This could mean that the eye of the storm is passing. Winds will calm and the rain will probably stop if the eye is over your area. Don't be fooled. The storm will restart again without warning and you could be caught outside if you leave your home. Wait until local authorities have confirmed that the storm is over before leaving shelter.
