PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

MAKE THE FINAL PREPARATIONS TO PROTECT LIFE AND PROPERTY. RUSH TO
COMPLETION THE HARDENING OF YOUR HOME OR BUSINESS BY CLOSING
SHUTTERS AND BRACING GARAGE DOORS. VONGFONG IS A SMALL SYSTEM WITH
A SHARP RIDGE TO THE WEST. THIS MEANS THAT WHEN CONDITIONS BEGIN

AGAINST BEING CAUGHT OUT ON ROADWAYS WHEN DANGEROUS WINDS AND HEAVY
RAINS ARRIVE. AGAIN...DO NOT STAY IN A TIN ROOF HOME. REMEMBER...
PETS ARE NOT ALLOWED IN MOST OFFICIAL SHELTERS...SO CHECK AHEAD
WITH YOUR INTENDED SHELTER.

IF STAYING IN A STURDY HOME...TURN THE REFRIGERATOR SETTING TO
MAXIMUM COLD AND KEEP IT CLOSED. TURN OFF PROPANE TANKS AND UNPLUG
SMALL APPLIANCES. FILL THE BATHTUB WITH WATER IN CASE THE TAP
WATER BECOMES UNAVAILABLE AFTER THE STORM. THIS IS FOR CLEANING
AND FLUSHING PURPOSES. DO NOT DRINK IT. BOAT OWNERS AND CAPTAINS
OF SMALL CRAFT SHOULD RUSH TO COMPLETION THE SECURING OF THEIR
CRAFT.
