In hurricane watch procedures, which action is part of the listed items?

• A. Secure first floor windows
• B. Top off LP tanks
• C. Contact logistical support
• D. Prepare to evacuate all occupants

Answer: (A)

During hurricane watch, the emphasis is on protective measures that reduce damage and keep people safe as conditions become potentially threatening. Securing first floor windows fits this focus because it directly limits wind entry and debris intrusion, helping preserve interior spaces and reduce the risk of injury or structural damage as winds pick up. It’s a practical, pre-emptive step you can take before conditions worsen.

The other actions are not typically part of watch-listed tasks in this context. Topping off LP tanks involves fuel safety and can create hazards or delays; contacting logistical support and evacuating all occupants are actions that belong to planning and response phases that come into play at different times or levels of threat.
