What should you do in a dust storm?

If you encounter a severe dust storm: * Reduce your speed immediately * drive carefully off the highway or road * stop as far to the right as possible (or the left, in Australia, UK and New Zealand) * turn on hazard lights to warn approaching drivers that you are there * wait until the dust storm has passed ---- If you are not in a car, seek the best shelter you can. If you are outside, you must protect your mouth and nose with clothing, using it as a filter through which to breathe. If you have advance warning that a dust storm is apporaching, ensure that airways and cracks under doors and at window openings are stuffed with material to stop the fine dust coming inside. Protect pets outside (bring them in, if possible, or shut them in a secure, protected area). Stay indoors.
