Public transportation, air, train and bus travel may be disrupted. Prepare for this as much as possible, by limiting travel needs.
  • Keep stocks of food and water at home and maintain communications via telephone and the Internet.
  • Use your vehicle only for in case it is absolutely necessary. Save fuel for emergency travel, such as to help family, friends or neighbors in need.
  • If possible, arrange to work from home.
