General recommendations for action

• Avoid forests, tree-lined avenues and areas with a lot of trees
• Before a storm: Secure any freestanding objects outdoors, retract any awnings
• Keep off roofs, the edges of buildings and rock ledges
• Watch out for falling objects such as roof tiles, branches or power lines
• When driving, watch out for strong crosswinds at exposed points such as bridges, drive slowly and keep a safe distance from other vehicles
• If possible, do not park vehicles in the open
• Do not repair any damage to buildings or infrastructure during the storm. Only begin repairs once the storm warning has been withdrawn
