How to Protect Yourself from Severe Storms Due to Yellow Warning – Advice from Civil Defence

The Civil Defence has issued recommendations to the public to protect themselves from severe storms, due to the yellow warning for isolated strong thunderstorms and possible hail. The recommendations concern self-protection measures from floods, such as cleaning drains and gutters, removing objects from basements and securing objects in the yard. It also advises avoiding movement during heavy rainfall and staying away from flooded roads and power lines. After the flood, it is recommended to avoid returning to flooded areas until their safety has been confirmed by the competent authorities.
