What can people do to prepare for hurricanes and typhoons?

Disaster Preparation: I would advise being mindful of the news as it pertains to storm tracking. Gather important papers. Pack a few belongings. Prepare to evacuate as soon as you are instructed so to do.

Have a PLAN: First and FOREMOST is have a FAMILY PLAN ..DISCUSS IT...a place to MEET if there is widespread damage.. Have a DISASTER KIT including Flashlights.(BATTERIES you would be surprised how quickly they WEAR OUT!, Fresh Water ( A Bathtub full is a GOOD IDEA) and canned foold (DO NOT FORGET THE CAN OPENER) Find out WHERE is the SAFEST place in your home Get a TELEPHONE # (In Boston its 311!)

Disaster plan: There are websites that will help you make a list of essential things that you need to have if you are planing to stay in the area of the storm. Otherwise, it is always recommended to evacuate to higher grounds and away from the projected trajectory of the storm. If you need to stay, please try to be secured in a concrete building away from glass windows. Hope this helps.

Evacuate if told to: Otherwise board up your windows and doors and sand bag the perimeter Have 7 days of water and food stores

Make a plan.: In preparation for natural disaster, set aside some healthy storable food. Fill containers, sinks and the tub with fresh water. Most importantly, evacuate if necessary to protect yourself and your family from personal injury.
