Those whose shelters are not solid enough during a cyclone can have a place to stay in public area as schools.

The warning of the Class 3 is given as far as possible six hours before gusts of one hundred and twenty km/hr occurs. Usually it is raining and very windy already and it is better not to adventure at the sea at this particular time.
