During a storm

Stay indoors, close windows and curtains to protect against breaking glass.
Do not try to repair damage until the high winds have passed.
If you must go outside, try to only use doors on the sheltered side.
If you are caught outside in high winds, get back indoors as soon as possible.
Stay away from the sheltered side of walls and fences - if these fall, they will collapse on this side.
Avoid walking close to buildings or trees as branches may break and loose objects may fall.
Stand clear of roads or train tracks, as you could be blown into the path of an oncoming vehicle.
Take care if driving on exposed routes such as bridges, or high open roads; delay your journey or find alternative routes where possible.
If you are driving, slow down and be aware of side winds; especially if you are towing or are a high sided vehicle.
Plan your journeys – there could be flash flooding, downed power lines/trees which this can also affect public transport.
