Shelters are likely to be set-up on an as-need basis in places that have the least damage. Be prepared to take shelter in your own home if necessary, even if it is somewhat damaged. If your home is destroyed or unsafe, listen to your battery powered radio for instructions.

Wear protective clothing and sturdy shoes. Take your 72-Hour Emergency Kit. Use travel routes specified by local authorities and don’t use shortcuts because certain areas may be impassable or dangerous.
