If you have access to a garage, park your car inside to shield it from high winds and flying debris. Ensure the garage door is secured to withstand impacts.
2. Elevated Parking:
If you cannot park indoors, consider parking in a multi-story parking garage or on higher ground to avoid flooding.
3. Strategic Positioning:
If parking outside, position your car next to a sturdy building to provide some wind protection. Avoid parking under trees or near structures that could collapse.

Check Your Car: Before hurricane season, ensure your vehicle is in good working condition. This includes checking the battery, tires, and fluid levels.

7.Cover Your Car:
If you must park outside, use a padded car cover or thick blankets to protect the exterior from debris.
