Do not venture outdoors until the storm has passed. Many people die after going out during the eye, thinking the storm had ended. A good way to determine that the storm has definitely passed is to verify this by weather updates over the radio. Report any power lines that have been downed and keep well away from them. Because of the damage done to some infrastructures, amenities like electricity and piped water may take some time to resume. Be patient, report any damage to the relevant authorities and continue to use your stored food and water.

Safety during a hurricane is a matter of personal responsibility. How ready you are in case of a disaster reflects how well one can weather the storm.

During a storm, securing boats in a safe reef or a lagoon is a good option. Still, once a boat is in the water, the threat of capsizing is a distinct possibility. The procedure for righting a boat that has been capsized varies depending on its size, though the safety and stability of very large vessels that have capsized will be greatly compromised even if righted. Small vessels can usually be righted by its crew's efforts and some vessels, outfitted with enough flotation can stabilize themselves.

The old adage, 'Still waters run deep' could be aptly adapted to fit the conditions of the flood waters following a storm if depth is replaced by speed. While flood waters can indeed rise to threatening heights, the real danger lies in the rapid pace of the flowing water, the seemingly manageable surface, hiding beneath it currents that easily sweep people, vehicles and even houses away. Aside from this danger, it's impossible to know what floats in the flood waters as chemicals could have been spilt during a storm, as well as bacteria and untold other sources of diseases.
