What to do
- Find a sturdy building and an interior room.
- No building nearby: seek an enclosed car away from trees and wires. When driving, keep away from trucks and buses.
- Before winds arrive, help people leave lightweight shelters for a sturdy building.
- Injured or trapped people: call emergency services from safety. Report location, numbers and hazards.
- If stopping the car, leave the traffic flow and avoid trees, wires and signs. Do not block the road.
What to avoid
- Avoid trees and fallen wires. They may be live.
- Without shelter, seek protection from flying objects. Stay away from fallen wires even if they seem dead.
