Start by sizing up your situation. Listen to the local authorities via your local radio or television and follow their guidance. Has your area been asked to evacuate? If so, follow the evacuation route provided. Trying to shortcut the traffic may endanger you.
If you have not been asked to evacuate, determine whether your home or work is safe. Is your structure secure and stable with all walls, ceiling, and floor sound? Is there any threat of hazards such as fire and flooding? Are the utilities controllable? If your home or workplace is not safe, you should move to more stable environment, weather conditions permitting.
