    Storm surges are abnormal rises in sea water caused by tropical cyclones. Before a storm surge, people should know their area's hazards, monitor weather advisories, identify evacuation sites and routes, secure property, and prepare survival supplies. During a surge, stay on higher ground away from the shore and take shelter. After, only leave once authorities say it's safe, check on others, seek medical care if needed, report hazards, repair damage, and check food and water safety.
