If a hurricane is coming businesses and industries close down, people board up windows, and either take loose objects inside or tie them down. It is best to stock up on supplies including water, food that does not need refrigeration, batteries, and first aid equipment. Depending on the situation people may have to evacuate an area. Hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico often lead to the shutdown of oil rigs.
