Get your key documents - passports, wills, contracts, insurance papers, and tax information - into a protected, dry place such as a safe deposit box or home safe.
Refill special medications.
Get cash (ATMs may not work for days after). Don't charge credit cards to the limit in case you need extra cash after the storm.
Get supplies. Follow instructions in this guide for food and water.
Don't fill gasoline cans; they are a fire hazard.
Move as many valuables as possible off the floor to limit flooding damage.
Get shutters, storm panels or plywood in place on windows. If you haven't installed sockets, attach with wood screws; they're better than nails and do less damage.
