How to Survive in the Eye of the Storm
- 1). Listen to weather reports to find out how quickly the hurricane is moving. If the calm weather is expected to last more than a few minutes, head outside and repair any boarded-up windows that may have been damaged by the first part of the storm.
- 2). Bring all outdoor equipment indoors. Secure anything that could become a projectile in high winds.
- 3). Turn off all water and electricity. Switch off water at the main valve; shut off electricity at main fuse box. Turning off the water and electricity may prevent electrical hazards.
- 4). Huddle in an interior, windowless space. This is the safest way to protect yourself against high winds and rushing water. A walk-in closet that's not connected to an exterior wall is a good choice. Bring food, water, a radio and medical supplies with you. Don't leave the space until the winds have died down and you're certain the storm has passed.
