hurricane preparedness
Cyclone safety planning
Hurricane preparedness is the practice of planning and gathering supplies before a hurricane arrives.
It typically includes stockpiling water, non-perishable food, flashlights, and batteries; securing outdoor objects; and knowing evacuation routes.
Hurricane preparedness should begin well before the storm is forecast.
The phrase appears constantly in coastal regions during hurricane season.
