BE PREPARED
Hurricanes
Winds and water from a hurricane can
damage homes. To prepare, people should
secure doors and windows. Outdoor items
should be tied down or removed. Cities near
coasts may build levees and floodwalls.
These barriers hold back water.
However, evacuating is the best way to
stay safe. People who live near coasts should
listen for weather updates. If a hurricane is
moving toward a city, experts may tell people to
evacuate. People should leave right away. They
should bring enough food and water for at least
three days.
People build walls to protect
homes from floodwaters.
