- Move vehicles to a safe location, preferably out of the path of the storm.
- Heed all evacuation warnings.
- Check emergency generators and ensure they will work when needed.
- If time permits,
- Remove items from desktops and walls, and be sure to disconnect electrical appliances and equipment.
- Any important files, computers, equipment should be moved to a higher floor, or if that is not possible, to the middle of the building. Remove items in the lower drawers if possible.
