Tips for staying safe in severe winds:

  • fasten windows, doors, and gates to stop them from being damaged by the wind
  • park vehicles in a garage - if this is not possible keep them away from buildings, walls, trees and fences
  • if your house has a chimney stack move furniture away from areas directly around it or below it
  • stay indoors as much as possible
  • avoid driving when possible 
  • drive slow and be aware of side winds 
  • do not touch any cables that have blown down or are hanging low
