Which action best describes hurricane safety?

Explanation:
During a hurricane, protecting yourself from flying debris and collapsing structures is crucial. Moving away from windows and heading to a windowless interior space—like a small room, bathroom, or interior hallway—puts you behind protective walls and reduces the risk of injury from shattered glass and windborne objects. Opening windows or staying in the same room near a window doesn’t offer protection and can increase danger, while going outside exposes you to gusts and debris. Staying indoors in a safe, interior spot until it’s announced safe to emerge is the best practice.
