If a hurricane catches you indoors, move away from windows and find a safe place against internal walls, in a corridor, near built-in wardrobes, in bathrooms, toilets, pantries, in sturdy cupboards, or under tables.
If a hurricane catches you indoors, move away from windows and find a safe place against internal walls, in a corridor, near built-in wardrobes, in bathrooms, toilets, pantries, in sturdy cupboards, or under tables. Extinguish fires in stoves, turn off electricity, and close taps on gas lines. In the dark, use flashlights, lamps, or candles; turn on a radio receiver to get information from the Civil Defence and Emergency Situations Department and the Emergency Situations Commission.
If a hurricane catches you on the streets of a settlement, stay as far away as possible from light structures, buildings, bridges, overpasses, power lines, masts, trees, rivers, lakes, and industrial facilities. To protect yourself from flying debris and glass fragments, use sheets of plywood, cardboard and plastic boxes, boards, and other improvised means.
Try to take shelter as quickly as possible in basements, cellars, and anti-radiation shelters available in settlements. Do not enter damaged buildings, as they may collapse with new gusts of wind. In a snowstorm, take shelter in buildings.
If you find yourself in a field or on a country road, head for main roads, which are periodically cleared and where there is a high probability of receiving assistance. During a dust storm, cover your face with a gauze bandage, scarf, piece of cloth, and your eyes with glasses. If a tornado warning is received, immediately descend into a shelter, a house basement, or a cellar, or take cover under a bed or other sturdy furniture.
If a hurricane catches you in an open area, take shelter at the bottom of a roadside ditch, in pits, trenches, or narrow ravines, pressing yourself close to the ground and covering your head with clothing or tree branches. Do not stay in your car; exit it and take shelter as described above.
