DO's
- Keep vehicle in a
garage or carport, if available. Otherwise, park close to the
building on the side away from the wind. Vans and semi-trailers can
be blown over if they are exposed to the full force of the winds.
- Fill fuel tank,
if possible. Fuel might not be available for days after the storm.
- Ensure battery is
fully charged. Dampness after the storm might make the vehicle hard
to start. In an extreme emergency, a car radio may be your only
source of information.
- If the vehicle is
located in the beach area, tape old blankets or sheets over the
windows to prevent blowing sand from pitting them. Fully tape to
ensure wind does not get under the covering, and remove tape
immediately after the storm to avoid leaving marks on the vehicle.
DO NOT's
- Do not park near
a tree that might fall on or break branches over your vehicle.
- Do not park near
power lines that might fall on your vehicle.
- Do not park
between two buildings located very close to each other as wind may
funnel through these areas.
- Do not go
sightseeing in your vehicle during the storm as your vehicle may
become stuck in the sand on beach roads or stalled by flooding in
the streets.
- Do not go
sightseeing in your vehicle after the storm as this may impede
recovery efforts.
