Do not open your hotel room door to strangers and always verify about the credentials of the staff with the staff with the reception desk before letting them in.

Being hurricane prone, keep close tabs on the weather reports and watch out for emergency warnings. Avoid cut power lines, walking in water lest you drop into a open manhole or hurt yourself on pieces of glass or metal and check out safe neighborhood areas before venturing out. Avoid flooded roads as cars get swept away in them and can endanger your life seriously.
