There is no way to stop hurricane or make it change direction
so if you ever find yourself in the path of hurricane, be sure to follow any emergency procedures（紧急程序）that your community has in place. Here are some other hurricane safety tips.
■ Be sure you have a battery-powered radio, batteries, fresh drinking water and a supply of food. Also, if anyone your family needs special medication（药物），be sure you have full supply.
■ Tell neighbours, friends and family members your emergency plans. Tell them where you'll go if you need to leave your home.
■ If you live near the ocean, in low-lying area, or in a mobile home, leave your home and travel inland to a safe place. You could stay with a friend or family member, in an inland hotel or motel, or in an emergency shelter area.
■ Keep listening to the radio if a hurricane is approaching. If local authorities instruct you to evacuate do it immediately.
"Before a hurricane arrives, be sure your family's car is filled with fuel. If the electricity goes out, the fuel pumps at gas stations will not work.
■ Stay inside during the storm. You could be seriously injured if you go outside.
You should always take good care of your pets and keep them indoors during a storm. If you have to evacuate your home, remember that pets are not allowed in most emergency shelters and hotel rooms. If you leave pets behind, be sure you set out plenty of food and water for them. Also, be sure they're wearing a collar with your family's name and phone number on it.
