Below are some tips from the guide:

* Be familiar with evacuation routes, and stock up on food, water and emergency supplies;
* Proceed with caution if a product claims to be hurricane-proof or impact-proof;
* Be wary of any contractor who approaches unsolicited or offers to perform repairs at a discount with leftover supplies from another job; and
* Know that numerous charities crop up after natural disasters. Some of these charities are legitimate, while others are run by scam artists looking to profit off of the goodwill of others.
