* IMPACTS...HIGH WINDS MAY MOVE LOOSE DEBRIS, DAMAGE PROPERTY AND
CAUSE POWER OUTAGES. TRAVEL COULD BE DIFFICULT, ESPECIALLY FOR
HIGH PROFILE VEHICLES. PLUMES OF BLOWING DUST WILL CREATE POCKETS
OF LOW VISIBILITY. VISIBILITIES WILL LIKELY CHANGE RAPIDLY OVER
SHORT DISTANCES, MAKING TRAVEL HAZARDOUS IN THESE AREAS.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
MONITOR THE LATEST FORECASTS AND WARNINGS FOR UPDATES.
FASTEN LOOSE OBJECTS OR SHELTER OBJECTS IN A SAFE LOCATION PRIOR TO
THE ONSET OF WINDS.
BLOWING DUST CAN SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER AIR QUALITY AND IT IS
ENCOURAGED THAT YOU TAKE PREVENTATIVE MEASURES SUCH AS STAYING
INDOORS OR WEARING PROTECTIVE BREATHING MASKS IF OUTSIDE. HIGH DUST
CONCENTRATIONS CAN CAUSE RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS, DECREASE LUNG
ACTIVITY, AGGRAVATE ASTHMA, AND LEAD TO POTENTIAL HEART-RELATED
PROBLEMS, ESPECIALLY WITH CHILDREN, ELDERLY OR THOSE WITH
PRE-EXISTING RESPIRATORY CONDITIONS.
