Number one, stay on top of the vehicle's regular maintenance by checking the battery, tires, spare tire, wipers and air conditioning. Number two, prep your car if you're staying home. If you don't have a garage for it, use a padded cover on it or thick blankets or rugs to prevent damage from flying debris. Also, park on the highest ground possible.
