Here is what to do if a storm comes your way!
Hurricanes （飓风） and typhoons are big storms．They can be up to 600miles across and have strong winds at speeds up to 300kph．The storms can last for over a week．When they come onto land，the heavy rain，strong winds and large waves can damage buildings，trees and cars．Storms can also cause injury and death．
If a hurricane or typhoon is likely in your area，you should：
●Listen to the radio or watch TV for information．
●Make your house safe by closing your doors and windows．
●Make sure you have plenty of water for drinking and cleaning-fill your bath with water to use．
Leave your home under the following conditions：
●If you are told to leave by the authorities （官方）-be sure to follow their instructions．
●If you live in a high building．
●If you live near the sea or a river．
●If you feel you are in danger．
If you are unable to get out，follow these advice：
●Stay indoors during the hurricane and keep away from windows and glass doors．
●Close all inside doors and outside doors．
●If the storm dies down，do not go outside； it could be the eye of the storm-the winds will pick up again．
●Stay in a room on the ground floor．
●Lie on the floor under a table． |
