Hurricane Checklist
This is a quick hurricane checklist. During a hurricane:
- If you must use candles, do not leave them unattended - keep them in safe holders and away from flammable material such as curtains, paper and wood.
- In case of heavy winds and severe electrical lightning, turn off and unplug electrical equipment, especially sensitive electronics.
- If you are using a portable generator, plug appliances into the generator, using extension cords if necessary. For your safety, place the portable generator outside the house so that it (the generator) gets proper ventilation. Always turn it off when refueling.
