A hurricane watch is
issued when there is a threat of hurricane conditions within 24-36 hours.
A hurricane warning is issued when hurricane conditions
(winds of 74 miles per hour or greater, or dangerously high water and

Listen to a battery-operated radio or television for hurricane
progress reports.
Check emergency supplies.
Fuel car.
Bring in outdoor objects such as lawn furniture, toys, and garden tools
and anchor objects that cannot be brought inside.
Secure buildings by closing and boarding up windows. Remove outside antennas.
Turn refrigerator and freezer to coldest settings. Open only when absolutely
necessary and close quickly.

such as candles and kerosene lamps, as a source of light.
If power is lost, turn off major appliances to reduce power "surge"

Leave as soon as possible. Avoid flooded roads and watch
for washed-out bridges.
Secure your home by unplugging appliances and turning off electricity
and the main water valve.
Tell someone outside of the storm area where you are going.
