HIGH SPEED WINDS

Before and during high speed winds

• Secure your boats in order not to cause an accident to adjacent boats
• Check your anchors, cords and ropes on your pickets
• Place buffers on the sides of your boats to prevent damage from possible impacts
• Secure objects that can fall from the wind and may cause damage or injury
• Secure the posted signs that you have posted.
• Lock the doors and windows of your boat or workspace.
• Avoid activities in sea and coastal areas.
• Avoid passing under large trees, under hanging signs and generally from areas where light objects (eg pots, broken glass, etc.) may move and fall into the ground (eg under balconies) .
• Do not work outdoors during high winds.
• Those who have pergolas in their shops, check the piles of joints and woods.
• Please secure umbrellas or awnings and store them in a safe place to avoid accidents
• Do not walk to the edge of the harbor.
• Do not walk on the coastal road of old – new harbor, on the wall, because there is a risk of falling from a large height and a fatal accident.

If you are on board or in a building

• Secure items that may be swept by wind or heavy rain and may cause damages or injuries.
• Check the stability of the advertising signs that you have posted.
• Lock the doors and windows.
• Do not use electrical appliances or the phone  due to possibility of a lighting . Disconnect the TV devices from the antenna and power supply.

If you are outdoors

• Find safe cover in a building or in a car. otherwise sit on the ground without lying down.
• Never stand under a tall tree in open area.
• Avoid low pavements due to high  flood risk.

• Avoid the portholes or other  sources of water.
• Move immediately from near the sea area.
• If you are isolated on a flat surface and feel your hair lifted (which indicates that a lightning will occur soon), make a deep head seat between the legs (to minimize the surface of your body and your contact with the land) by removing away  the metal objects you have on you.
