Overview
A hurricane or tropical storm warning means that, within 24 hours, hurricane or tropical storm conditions are favorable for designated areas.
Procedures
When a hurricane or tropical storm warning is issued:

• Follow instructions issued by civil defense.
• Leave immediately if ordered to do so.
• Complete preparation activities, such as boarding up windows and storing loose objects.
• Wedge sliding glass doors to prevent their lifting from their tracks.
• Turn up your refrigerator to maximum cold and don't open unless necessary.
• Evacuate areas that might be affected by storm surge flooding.
• If evacuating, leave early and leave food and water for pets (shelters will not take them).
• Notify neighbors and a family member outside of the warned area of your evacuation plans.
• Use phone only for emergencies.
