Emergency Management Queensland's website offers the following advice for basic action before and during a cyclone: * Have a list of emergency phone numbers is an easily accessible position * Determine which is the strongest, most secure room in your house * Pack an Emergency kit which includes items such as first aid, torch and portable radio with spare batteries, gloves, candles, matches, copies of important documents e.g. birth certificates, essential medications, canned foods * Have an evacuation plan ready, including evacuation routes, spare fuel, and listen to Community Service Announcements so you are familiar with what is happening * Ensure all garden furniture and loose items outside are secured so they cannot become flying torpedoes * Plan ahead of time what will happen with your pets, especially if you cannot take them with you in the event of an evacuation * Check your roof condition beforehand, and ensure all loose tiles, iron sheeting, etc is secured and repaired * Trim overhanging branches to keep them well away from the house * Fill buckets and bath with water in case the drinking water supply is compromised * Have sufficient cash on hand for emergencies * Tape windows in criss-cross fashion using strong packing tape if you do not have shutters Once a cyclone hits: * Turn off electricity, gas and water, and unplug all appliances * Ensure everyone, including pets, are inside * Move your family to the strongest room * Keep your emergency kit with you at all times * Keep listening to the radio for updates * If your house begins to break apart, shelter under a really strong table or a mattress * During the calm eye, do not venture outdoors. Stay where you are, as the other side of the cyclone is often more intense than before the eye. Wait for the all-clear announced on the radio.

You don't. The weather phenomena known as cyclones (including hurricanes and typhoons), cannot be stopped. They are powerful natural phenomena which cannot be stopped by man. People can only undergo preparations in the event of a cyclone hitting settled areas.

Meteorologists would detect a hurricane and track its probable path and severity. Then they would alert the relevant authorities (governing bodies and emergency services) who would decide on the appropriate actions to take in their area.

Possible appropriate actions to manage the affects of a hurricane:

~ Inform people about the Hurricane e.g. When its coming.

~ Evacuate people. (If needed.)

~ Evacuate animals. (If needed.)

~ Secure all loose objects e.g. Cars, bikes, bins and trees.

~ Ensure people know who to contact for help in an emergency situation.

~ Inform people how to secure and keep themselves, their property and belongings safe.

the main way is cloud seeding. before a cyclone develops, cloud seeding can take place so the low rains itself out before it becomes a cyclone.
