Answer:
Hurricane and Typhoon Preparedness Checklist
Build an emergency kit and make a family emergency plan
Know your surroundings
Learn the elevation level of your property and whether the land is flood-prone, which will help you know how your property will be affected when storm surge or tidal flooding are forecasted
Identify levees and dams in your area and determine whether they pose a hazard to you
Learn community hurricane evacuation routes and how to find higher ground
Determine where you would go and how you would get there if you needed to evacuate
Make plans to secure your property:
Cover all of your home's windows with permanent storm shutters or 5/8-inch marine plywood, cut to fit and ready to install (tape does not prevent windows from breaking!)
Install straps or additional clips to securely fasten your roof to the frame structure
Be sure trees and shrubs around your home are well trimmed so they are more wind resistant
Clear loose and clogged rain gutters and downspouts
Reinforce your garage doors; if wind enters a garage it can cause dangerous and expensive structural damage
Plan to bring in all outdoor furniture, decorations, garbage cans and anything else that is not tied down
Determine how and where to secure your boat
Install a generator for power outages
If in a high-rise building, be prepared to take shelter on or below the 10th floor
Consider building a safe room
During a Hurricane or Typhoon
Listen to the radio or TV for information and keep your weather radio handy
Secure your home, close storm shutters and secure outdoor objects or bring them indoors
Turn off utilities if instructed to do so. Otherwise, turn the refrigerator thermostat to its coldest setting and keep its doors closed
Turn off propane tanks
Avoid using the phone, except for serious emergencies
Moor your boat if time permits
Ensure a supply of water for sanitary purpose such as cleaning and flushing toilets: fill the bathtub and other larger containers with water
Find out how to keep food safe during and after an emergency
You should evacuate under the following conditions:
If you are directed by local authorities to do so, and be sure to follow their instructions
If you live in a mobile home or temporary structure — such shelter are particularly hazardous during hurricane no matter how well fastened to the ground
If you live in a high-rise building — hurricane winds are stronger at higher elevations
If you live on the coast, on a floodplain, near a river or on an island waterway
If you are unable to evacuate, go to your wind-safe room. If you do not have one, follow these guidelines:
Stay indoors during the hurricane and away from windows and glass doors
Close all interior doors, secure and brace external door
Keep curtains and blinds closed. Do not be fooled if there is a lull; it could be the eye of the storm and winds will pick up again
Take refuge in a small interior room, closet or hallway on the lowest level
Lie on the floor under a table or another sturdy object
Avoid elevators
