You may protect yourself from a hurricane by: * Evacuate * Tie things down * Board Houses up/Windows * Hurricane shelters * You should make prepared emergency plans. You may also be concerned about protecting your house, roof or posessions from a hurricane. There are two parts to this question: 1. Building your roof in such a way that a hurricane is less likely to cause significant damage; 2. Getting proper insurance and documenting your property so that you can get reimbursed should a hurricane damage your house.

∙ 14y agoYears ago and sometimes even today people have little compartments/garage things in the back yard (not sure of the name) that they ran and hid in from hurricanes, tornadoes and the war........they were underground with the door slightly on top of the ground, sticking out. This really helped people from escaping hurricanes and stuff, while their house was falling down :( they were safe, underground.

∙ 10y agoThe first thing you need is a mattress or couch cussions, next you need a first aid kit, fresh food and drinking water. If near the shore move to high lands with all your items and seek shelter from the rain. When you find shelter, have your first aid kit, water and your food near you. When you have done that, pull the mattress or couch cussions on you to protect your self from the flying things. WARNING: Make sure the shelter is away from any trees lenth. You should at least a month worth of food and water. Stay there untill the storm leaves or ends.
