What you need to do:

• Move or stay indoors clear of windows, bringing children and pets with you.
• If you must travel, consider the consequences of road conditions and closures and make alternate arrangements for work, children, and travel.
• Use stairs instead of lifts in severe weather. You may become trapped if the power goes out.
• If your roof or balcony is struck by a fallen tree/branch or other large debris - stay clear and remain indoors if you can. It may have been structurally weakened, even if there is no obvious damage.
• Have your emergency kit and grab and go bag handy in case you lose power.
• If caught outdoors, shelter under sturdy cover away from lightning, hail, falling branches.
• Stay clear of fallen trees, power lines and damaged buildings.
• Consider postponing back country travel in alpine areas until conditions ease.
