Keeping Safe During the Hurricane


During a hurricane is no time for site seeing and you should not expect anyone else to be out during the hurricane either. This is why it is important to be prepared well in advance of the strike of the hurricane:



  1. Do not leave your house or shelter.

  2. If the eye or vortex of the hurricane is passing directly over your area, there will be a brief lull in the winds which can last from several minutes to 1/2 an hour or more. Remain in a safe place during this lull. The wind will return suddely from the opposite side with greater force.

  3. Your telephone usage should be reduced to a minimum, preferably only in cases of absolute necessity. You do not wish to be the victim of an electrical surge.
