台风多发季节：台风天安全指南

♦ 固定或收回屋外、阳台上的一切可移动物品，包括玩具、自行车、家具、植物等等。将盆栽或其他重物搬离窗户。

♦ Watch for leaks around windows and doors. If the wind is strong enough, water may be blown into your home even if the windows are closed. Have handy towels, rags and mops.

♦ 检查门窗是否密封。如果风力过强，即便关了窗户雨水仍有可能进入屋内，因此需要准备毛巾和墩布。

♦ If the storm becomes severe, move into a hallway or area where there is the least exposure to external glass windows.

♦ 如果风力过强，请远离窗户等可能碎裂的物品。

♦ In case of flooding, turn off the main sources of electricity, gas and water in your home.

♦ 如遇洪水，关闭家中一切电源、水源、煤气。

♦ After the storm is over, check for broken glass, fallen trees and downed power lines which may present safetyhazards.

♦ 台风过去后，仍要注意破碎的玻璃、倾倒的树或断落的电线等可能造成危险的状况。
