12. What to do before-hand Above all, it is vital that people find out about the kinds of storm liable to strike their region so that they can take optimum preventive measures, and: - choose a shelter in advance, before the emergency occurs - a cellar, a basement, or an alcove may be perfectly suitable; - minimize the effects of the storm - fell dead trees, prune tree branches, regularly check the state of roofs, the state of the ground, and the drainage around houses; take measures against flooding; - prepare a family emergency kit.

13. During an emergency Listen to the information and advice provided by the authorities. - Do not go out in a car or a boat once the storm has been announced. - Evacuate houses if the authorities request this, taking the family emergency package. - If possible, tie down any object liable to be blown away by the wind; if there is time, nail planks to the doors and shutters, open the windows and doors slightly on the side opposite to the direction from which the wind is coming so as to reduce wind pressure on the house. If caught outside in a storm, take refuge as quickly as possible in a shelter; if there is no shelter, lie down flat in a ditch.

14. - In a thunderstorm keep away from doors, windows, and electrical conductors, unplug electrical appliances and television aerials. Do not use any electrical appliances or the telephone. - Anyone who is outside should - look for shelter in a building (never under a tree); if out in a boat, get back to the shore; - keep away from fences and electric cables; - kneel down rather than remain standing

15. After an emergency follow the instructions given by the authorities; - stay indoors and do not go to the stricken areas; give the alert as quickly as possible; - give first aid to the injured; - make sure the water is safe to drink and check the contents of refrigerators and freezers; - check the exterior of dwellings and call for assistance if there is a risk of falling objects (tiles, guttering, etc.).
