Safety tips to keep in mind as the storm makes landfall:
⚫️ If you do not have to be on the road, stay off the road, especially at night. Motorists are strongly discouraged from driving given the wind, rain and road closures. Turn around, don’t drown.
EMS and fire cannot respond to calls after sustained tropical storm-force winds are present.
⚫️ Do not touch electrical equipment if it is wet or if you are standing in water. If it is safe to do so, turn off the electricity to prevent electric shock.
⚫️ Avoid wading in floodwater, which can be contaminated and contain dangerous debris. Underground or downed power lines can also electrically charge the water.
⚫️ Use a generator or other gasoline-powered machinery ONLY outdoors and away from windows. Always have a battery-powered carbon monoxide detector when using a generator.
