I stay at home and keep informed through official sources. I do not use my car. I will not go pick up my children from school. I stay away from rivers, low-lying areas, and bridges, and I go to the highest possible point. I take shelter on an upper floor; as a last resort, on the roof. I do not go down into basements. I evacuate only on official order, taking my emergency kit with me.
