Stay indoors, away from windows and exterior doors.

- Be aware that tornadoes can occur at any time during a hurricane.
- Use flashlights or battery powered lights - Do NOT use candles or any other open flame.
- Use the telephone for emergencies only.
- Keep the refrigerator and freezer doors closed. Open as little as possible to conserve cold air.
