If a Windstorm Occurs
Windstorms are no joke so follow these simple but effective rules to keep you and your loved ones safe.
When you’re indoors
- Bring all family members together into a safe location such as a basement and take cover under a heavy piece of furniture. If your home does not have a basement, take cover in the bathroom.
- Do not stand near doors or windows.
- Do not use the elevator if you live in a Highrise.
- Do not remain in a mobile home because it can overturn in the wind.
When you’re outdoors
- Take cover in a secure building with a sturdy roof that can withstand the force of wind and weight of snow.
- If you are in an open area and no shelter is available, take cover under a highway overpass, in a ditch or a hollow in the ground. Lay face down on the ground and protect your head with your hands.
