Make sure you follow the evacuation and preparation advice from officials if you are located in a coastal region. Never open doors or windows letting in the wind during a hurricane.
Before the threat of any hurricane it's a good idea to have basic supplies together such as food, water, am radio, etc. Anything you will need for survival in case of power outages.
To protect your home you should reinforce door and window locks, the garage door, and any other vulnerable weak points around the home. Clean up and put away items that could blow away outside.
Windows are the most vulnerable so protect the glass from breaking with hurricane shutters, screens, or boards. Security window film won't keep the glass from breaking but it will help keep the glass from shattering in small glass shards or even retain the glass in the frame.
If you can keep the glass from breaking and stop the wind from blowing open a door, then you should be a lot safer if a hurricane hits your home. Once the wind enters your home it might blow off your roof and cause server damage.
