Stormy winds

Storm winds are one of the most common natural disasters. It should be borne in mind that in the wind (14-17 m/s), billboard installations installed along the streets, LED panels and banners on independent supports can be overturned. With a gale-force wind (up to 24 m/sec), trees may be felled, power lines may be cut off. Sparking of wires can lead to the occurrence of fires. With a strong storm wind (up to 28.4 m / sec), some destruction of buildings occurs, including roofs may be torn off houses, broken windows in windows. Rubble of broken trees and building structures can significantly block driveways and highways. With a hurricane-force wind (32m/sec or more), serious destruction of capital structures, contact networks of electric transport, power lines of utility and energy networks are noted.

It is necessary to know and implement general measures of safe behavior during strong winds:
