Survive A Dust Storm or Sandstorm - Bad Weather

Dust and sand storms are among natures most violent and unpredictable phenomena. High winds lift dirt or sand particles into the air, unleashing a turbulent, suffocating cloud that can reduce visibility to almost nothing in a matter of seconds and cause property damage, injuries, and deaths. No matter where you live, its a good idea to know what to do if you see a wall of sand racing toward you.

Surviving a Storm on Foot Put a mask over your nose and mouth.

If you have a respirator or mask designed to filter out small particulates, put it on immediately. If you don't have a mask, wrap a bandanna or some other piece of cloth around your nose and mouth. A shirt sleeve or a bra works good. Moisten it a bit if you have enough water. Apply a small amount of petroleum jelly to the inside of your nostrils to prevent drying of your mucus membranes. Protect your eyes.

Eyeglasses offer minimal protection from blowing dust or sand, but airtight goggles are better. If you don't have goggles, shield your face with your arm as you move, then wrap a piece of cloth tightly around your head to protect your eyes and ears. Look for shelter.

Even a parked car will do, so long as it is off the road in not in danger of getting hit. When possible, enclosures are your best bet. However, anything "leeward" shielding you from the direction of the wind of the storm will be better than nothing. Sand will bounce around when it hits objects, so you should still try to cover as much of your skin and face as possible.If you cannot get to shelter, crouch down. It minimizes the chance youll get hit by something flying.Get to high ground.

The densest concentration of sand or dust bounces close to the ground, so the storm will be less forceful at the top of a hill. Seek high ground if you can find a safe, solid, high point, but only if the storm is not accompanied by lightning and there is no danger of being struck by heavier flying d Dust and sand storms are among natures most violent and unpredictable phenomena.
