Before a hurricane, which precaution is explicitly mentioned?

• A. Protecting the equipment located on underground levels
• B. Seal exterior doors
• C. Move people to the roof
• D. Turn off all alarms

Answer: (A)

Before a hurricane, safeguarding any equipment located underground is emphasized because floodwaters pose a severe risk to subsurface infrastructure. Protecting these areas helps prevent water damage, preserve critical systems, and minimize downtime when storm conditions hit. The other options don’t align with the explicit precaution: sealing exterior doors might help in some contexts but isn’t the stated action here; moving people to the roof is unsafe and not a recommended hurricane precaution; turning off all alarms doesn’t address the primary flood threat to underground equipment.
