Check your battery powered equipment and emergency cooking facilities.
Disconnect the intake of your cistern and block the outlet as soon as possible otherwise the water in the cistern may become contaminated.

Be calm. Your ability to do so may inspire and help others.
Plan your time before the storm arises and avoid the last minute hurry which might leave you stranded or unprepared.
Take in atleast several days supply of sterilised drinking water, and water for other purposes. Secure outdoor objects that might be blown away. Anchor them or store them inside before the storm. Harvest and store all nearly ripened fruits, as they become a source of food as well as prevent them from becoming missiles and damaging property during the storm.
Moore your boats securely before the storm arrives, or move it to a designated area, until the storm has died.
Keep you car fuelled.
