Be prepared:
- Secure or store loose objects outside that could blow into windows
- Close and fasten doors and windows securely
- Park vehicles in a garage or well away from trees, buildings, walls and fences
During high winds:
- Stay indoors as much as possible - don’t go outside to repair damage during a storm
- Find shelter in a substantial, permanent, enclosed building
- Slow down if driving on exposed routes, such as across bridges
- Find alternative, less exposed routes if possible
- Take particular care of side winds if driving a high-sided vehicle or if you’re towing another vehicle or container
- Don’t touch electrical or phone cables that have blown down or are hanging loose
