In particular, in areas where heavy rainfall, thunderstorms or stormy winds are foreseen:

  • To insure objects that, if carried away by severe weather events, may cause disasters or injuries.
  • To make sure the houses and gutters of the houses are not clogged and function properly.
  • Avoid crossing streams and streams, pedestrian or vehicle during thunderstorms and rainfall, but also for several hours after the end of their event. Particular attention is needed at the road network, where the road intersects with torrents and there is no bridge.
  • Avoid rural work and activities in maritime and coastal areas during the occurrence of severe weather (thunderbolt risk).
  • Protected immediately during a hailstorm. To resort to a building or car and not leave the safe space unless they are confirmed that the storm passed. Quartzing can also be very dangerous for animals.
  • Avoid passing under large trees, under posted signs and generally from areas where light objects (eg pots, broken glass, etc.) can detach and fall to the ground (eg below balconies).
  • Follow the guidelines of the local authorities, such as Traffic Police, etc.
