When a hurricane looms on the horizon, a multitude of safety considerations come to mind. One pertinent inquiry that often arises is: should I turn off my electrical breakers during a hurricane? In the face of potential power outages and hazardous conditions, is it prudent to disconnect all power sources to my home? Could this action prevent electrical surges that might occur if high winds damage power lines? Moreover, what implications does this decision have for essential appliances and systems that require constant energy, such as refrigerators or medical equipment?

In navigating these complexities, what guidelines should we consider to make a well-informed decision in the face of such an unpredictable natural disaster?
