Instructions for helping yourself

Strong wind / falling trees or roofs

What to do

  1. Find a sturdy building and an interior room.
  2. No building nearby: seek an enclosed car away from trees and wires. When driving, keep away from trucks and buses.
  3. If driving, slow down and hold the wheel with both hands.
  4. If injured or trapped, call. Say where you are and what prevents escape. Do not cross water or wires for help.
  5. If stopping the car, leave the traffic flow and avoid trees, wires and signs. Do not block the road.

What to avoid

  1. Avoid trees and fallen wires. They may be live.
  2. Without shelter, seek protection from flying objects. Stay away from fallen wires even if they seem dead.
