PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS
----------------------------------

ACTIONS TO SECURE YOUR HOME OR BUSINESS. THE ONSET OF STRONG
GUSTY WINDS AND HEAVY RAIN CAN CAUSE CERTAIN PREPAREDNESS
ACTIVITIES TO BECOME UNSAFE.

IF YOU LIVE IN A PLACE PARTICULARLY VULNERABLE TO FLOODING, SUCH
AS NEAR THE OCEAN, A LARGE INLAND LAKE, A LOW LYING OR POOR
DRAINAGE AREA, OR NEAR A SWOLLEN RIVER, PLAN TO MOVE TO SAFE
SHELTER ON HIGHER GROUND.

ALWAYS HEED THE ADVICE OF LOCAL OFFICIALS AND COMPLY WITH ANY ORDERS
THAT ARE ISSUED.

CLOSELY MONITOR NOAA WEATHER RADIO OR OTHER LOCAL NEWS OUTLETS
FOR OFFICIAL STORM INFORMATION. LISTEN FOR POSSIBLE CHANGES TO THE
FORECAST.
