Sarah Jessica Parker has said she's "battening down the hatches" in preparation for Hurricane Irene.
The storm is expected to hit the US East Coast on Saturday.
While promoting her new comedy, I Don't Know How She Does It, in New York, the 46-year-old Manhattanite said she's in full storm-preparedness mode.
The actress has removed anything that could fly through windows.
She's also making sure she and her husband, actor Matthew Broderick; their two-year-old twins, Loretta and Tabitha, and eight-year-old son, James Wilkie, are stocked up on water, flashlights and batteries.
I Don't Know How She Does It is based on the book by Allison Pearson. It is about a career-minded mother juggling a demanding job and the family she adores.
