General information, not an individual diagnosis. Ask a healthcare professional if you are unsure about your situation.

Check weather vigilance and the authorities’ instructions. This general preparation does not mean a warning is active in your municipality.

Before winds arrive, and without putting yourself at risk, bring in or secure outdoor objects that could fall or become projectiles.

Close doors, windows, shutters and gates; raise blinds. France’s Civil Security service also recommends bringing animals inside.

During the event, shelter in a solid building. Keep away from windows and avoid staying under trees.

Limit travel according to instructions. Going outside to retrieve furniture must not expose you to falling branches or objects.

After the wind, do not touch damaged or fallen power lines. Report them and keep away from dangerous areas.
