High winds

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
