- Keep all windows closed.
- Tell stories or sing songs to help keep children calm.
- If the power goes out, use flashlights. Candles and kerosene
lamps could cause a fire.
- If the eye of the storm passes over your
neighborhood, stay inside in your "safe room."
Storm conditions may lessen temporarily; don't be fooled
by the calm outside. Hurricane winds will return from the
other direction with the same or greater force.
- Use your telephone only for urgent calls so others can
use the lines for emergencies.
- Listen to a battery-operated radio or TV to stay informed.
- Stay calm. Do not walk around.
