The biggest threat to individual safety is when there is a possibility that storms and strong winds overturn the trees and create fatal spills.

When the house is interrupted, please turn off the main equipment such as air conditioner and water heater to reduce damage.

Do not leave. If the storm's eyes cross your area, there will be short gentleness, but across the eyes the wind speed will rapidly increase to the hurricane force and come from the opposite direction. Also, please do not go outside seeing "How the wind feels". Easily attacked by scattered debris

Please be careful of thunder. Keep away from electrical equipment. Do not use mobile phones or bath / shower during the storm.

If you know what a hurricane is coming to, please evacuate. If you can not do it urgently, your home needs food and water during a hurricane. When the hurricane is "moving", it will stay at the top of your house. Then, when the hurricane is over, if parents and adults indicate that you are safe, you can only go outdoors. Because hurricanes can cause huge damage to people, it can affect people's lives. The wind will destroy homes, trees, and any outdoor property. If hurricanes do not hurt people's place of residence, flooding may occur after hurricanes. When the house is destroyed, people may have to rebuild their homes and towns. People in the town need to "clean up" the turmoil caused by the hurricane
