The General Secretariat for Civil Protection addresses the recommendations to the citizens to be especially careful, taking care to take self-protection measures against the dangers arising from the occurrence of severe weather phenomena, in view of the bad weather that will affect the country from tomorrow.
In particular, in areas where heavy rainfall, thunderstorms or stormy winds are forecast, GGP recommends to the citizens:
* Insure items which, if swept away by severe weather, may cause damage or injury.
* Make sure that the gutters and gutters of the houses are not blocked and are operating normally.
* To avoid crossing torrents and streams, on foot or by vehicle, during storms and rainfall, but also for several hours after the end of their event.
* Avoid field work and activities in the sea and coastal areas during severe weather events (risk of lightning strikes).
* Take immediate precautions during a hailstorm. Take refuge in a building or car and do not leave the safe area until they are sure that the storm is over. Hail can also be very dangerous for animals.
* Avoid passing under large trees, under hanging signs and generally in areas where light objects (eg pots, broken glass, etc.) can come off and fall to the ground (eg under balconies).
* To faithfully follow the instructions of the locally competent bodies, such as Traffic, etc.
