*Secure items in the garden, like trampolines and wheelie bins.
*Park vehicles in the garage or clear of buildings, trees, walls and fences
*During a storm, IF you have to go out, avoid walking or sheltering near trees and buildings
* If you do have to travel, plan your journey, allow extra time and be prepared, for example by having emergency supplies should you be travelling by car
* Don’t attempt repairs until the storm is over
* Remember to check on neighbours you think might need an extra helping hand
