Governor’s Hurricane Proclamation
GENERAL NOTES
1. All property owners and tenants are urged to test
sh(])roughly all hurricane doors, shutters, and windows in
uly.
2. Every householder should make all possible effcrt to
.secure his own property, not only to save it, but to prevent
articles and material from being blown about by the wind
in such manner as to endanger life and property of o hers.
All loose material on premises such as old lumber, ¢ ns,
etc., should be secured. All cisterns, tanks other water con
tainers near the sea should be carefully secured agaiust the
entrance of salt spray.
3. During the hurricane period, all unauthorized persons
must keep off the streets, and are urged to remain in safe
places indoors. .
4. All domestic fires must be put out on the approach of
a burricane, and kept out until all danger is past, to reduce
the fire risk in case homes are damaged.
D. As electric power must be kept off durinz a hurricane
to reduce the fire risk, all householdrs should keep at hund
suitable hurricane lanterns,
6. All livestock should be released from buildings and
pens, and turned out into enclosures.
1. The duration of the usual hurricane is scme cight or
ten hours, Thus while there is no necessity tor laying in
large stores of provisions and water all householders should
provide against reasonable requirements while the hurricane
is on. In particular, the churches should make provision
for serving water to those seeking shelter., :
8. Should a hurricane center pass over the Islands, the
first blow will be succeeded by a flat calm for a half hour to
an hour, after which the wind will again break with
out warning and continue to blow, from the opposite direc
tion, for the second half of the hurricane. It'is during this
calm that the greatest caution must be observed in leaving
shelter or opening buildings as there will be no warning
for the second part of the blow.
