Know your evacuation zone. Even if you live on an upper floor, you may be completely cut off from rescue if the grounds flood. Never evacuate up.
Get shutters or panels to cover your glass doors and windows now. Be sure to check with your condominium association to see if a specific style is required.
Bring all balcony furniture, potted plants and other items indoors so they won’t be blown around by strong winds.
Know where your exit stairwells are located. These exits may be necessary if your building loses power, and elevators are unavailable.
Talk with the condo management group to find out about its hurricane plan for the entire facility.
Talk with your association about what would happen if your condominium were destroyed by a hurricane. Every declaration of condominium should have language that addresses rebuilding or dissolution. Typically this information is found following the section about insurance.
