These are some suggested steps you can take in order to better prepare for significant storms. When officials predict that a storm will hit your area: When a storm warning is issued: When a storm is imminent (i.e. hours away): During a storm: CAUTION! It may seem that the storm has passed. Beware, this may only be the eye of a hurricane. If it is, the storm could once again get very violent, very quickly. Be vigilant. Going out in a storm is very dangerous. Things like loose roofing shingles can become projectiles which travel through the air at speeds in excess of 100 km/h. Being hit by flying debris can cause serious injury and has been known to cause fatalities. After a storm: Lessons learned: During the summer 2003 power blackout, many Ontario residents found themselves stranded, unable to purchase gasoline at the pumps. While nobody can predict power outages, storms can be predicted. If a major storm is coming, fill up with gas. If the power is out, you may not be able to get gas for several days. During that same blackout, most people were unable to use their stoves. Restaurants were without power, and therefore couldn t serve meals. Many people resorted to cooking on their BBQ s. If the power is out, your refrigerator may be able to keep food cool for up to 24 hours, as long as you don t open it. Monitor the situation carefully. If you suspect food is spoiling, then get rid of it. It s your safest option. When phone lines go out, people resort to using their cell phones in order to communicate. This places a heavy burden on the cell phone infrastructure. In many cases, you will not be able to place a call easily. You will need to be patient.
