4. Avoid Trees and Power Lines: During high winds, trees and power lines may fall. Avoid walking or sheltering under trees and keep a safe distance from downed power lines.
5. Emergency Kit: Prepare an emergency kit with essentials like water, non-perishable food, flashlights, batteries, and a first aid kit.
6. Stay Indoors: Refrain from unnecessary travel during severe weather conditions. If you must drive, exercise caution and be mindful of road hazards.
Please be sure to stay safe and indoors tomorrow!
