=== Preparedness and Safety Measures ===

* '''Evacuation''': Residents in flood-prone or coastal zones should '''evacuate immediately''' when advised by local authorities.
* '''Shelter''': Move to a '''sturdy building or official hurricane shelter'''; secure windows and doors before the storm’s arrival.
* '''Supplies''': Keep at least '''three days’ worth of food, water, and essential medicines'''.
* '''Post-Storm Caution''': Wait for official clearance before leaving shelter. Be cautious of '''downed power lines and unstable structures'''.
* '''Community Support''': Neighbors helping neighbors—especially vulnerable individuals—can save lives when systems are overwhelmed.
