I was wondering since the world is undergoing Global Warming, more places are threatened. How are/will/would you prepare for hurricanes? When you go back home, will you live there again after the place is cleaned up? If you don't live in a threatened area, how will you help those attacked? Thank you so much for the answers!

i have been in several and to prepare you must gather plenty of batteries,non-perishable items and water for you,your family and any pets you have and when you are told to evacuate do it no questions asked,your house can be replaced your lives can't! i have seen so many stubborn people who wanted to ride it out become deceased!

If you look on the FEMA website it will tell you how to prepare before, during and after the hurricane, please be aware that FEMA are keeping an eye on the hurricane and are preparing to evacuate those at most risk do be prepared to be told to evacuate and if you are do it quickly, pack some clothes just in case.

I live in Florida and we got 4 in a couple months here a couple years ago. I cannot off the top of my head think how many I have lived through my whole life, but definitely more than a dozen. I don't feel like wracking my memory to think of the actual number. The safest preparation is to move to somewhere that has mountains. Hurricanes don't like mountains, it turns them from hurricanes into annoying rain storms.
Preparations to remain are inspect your home. Make sure it is in good condition: no loose roof boards, shingles, tiles, no cracked weakened by age windows, make sure the brickwork in your chimney if you have one is sound, etc. If so, it should "weather the storm" alright. Board up windows, sandbag/plastic cover any potential sites for water to leak into the structure around its foundation like bottoms of garage doors. Make sure you have lots of water in case your city's water system get damaged. Lots of food that can store without refrigeratin in case of power outages. If you can splurge, GET A GENERATOR. Not one for the whole home, but for basics like TV/radio, a couple lights and your fridge/freezer. A grill is a good idea for cooking. If you have a gas stove/oven, make sure you gas tank is sound and full. And, depending where you are and what the weather is like afterwards, prepare for heat. Especially if you are without power so have no AC in your home. Bottom line, with pretty simple common sense preparations, it is not a very difficult experience to go through. Oh, one last thing, check trees on your property also for weak or about to fall branches and cut them off and get rid of the before the hurricane slings them off into your home or your neighbor's home. Visit the source for lots of info.
The most important step in all of this is to prepare your home and LEAVE the area. All these preps will help before and after, but for during it is best to not let a during happen to you. Be somewhere you will not experience what it is like during a hurricane.

board up your house, get some sandbags, put 'em down and get the hell out of the area. don't stay around because theres always a huge risk of floods and damaging winds which will not be fun to sit through. not to mention the dying thing....

You board up your house .. AND YOU GET THE HE(( OUT OF THERE!!!!! Don't bother with hurricane parties. mother nature can give her worse without warning. ( I know, sounds stupid).
