High winds

Be prepared 

 

• Secure or store loose objects outside so that they cannot be blown and create a hazard.

• Close and fasten doors and windows securely. 

• Park vehicles in a garage or well away from trees, buildings, walls and fences.

During high wind

​

• Stay indoors as much as possible - don’t go outside to repair damage during a storm. 

• Find shelter in a substantial, permanent and 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.
