WHAT TO DO WHEN A HURRICANE WARNING IS ISSUED

Listen to the advice of local officials. If you are advised to evacuate, leave.

Complete preparation activities

If you are not advised to evacuate, stay indoors, away from windows.

Be alert for tornadoes. Tornadoes can happen during a hurricane and after it passes over. Remain indoors, in the center of your home, in a closet or bathroom without windows.

HOW YOUR SMARTPHONE CAN HELP DURING A HURRICANE

A smartphone can be your best friend in a hurricane — with the right websites and apps, you can turn it into a powerful tool for guiding you through a storm’s approach, arrival and aftermath.

Download the WESH 2 News app for iOS | Android

Enable emergency alerts — if you have an iPhone, select settings, then go into notifications. From there, look for government alerts and enable emergency alerts.

If you have an Android phone, from the home page of the app, scroll to the right along the bottom and click on "settings." On the settings menu, click on "severe weather alerts." From the menu, select from most severe, moderate-severe, or all alerts.

Your pet should be a part of your family plan. If you must evacuate, the most important thing you can do to protect your pets is to evacuate them too. Leaving pets behind, even if you try to create a safe space for them, could result in injury or death.

Contact hotels and motels outside of your immediate area to see if they take pets.

Ask friends, relatives and others outside of the affected area whether they could shelter your animal.
