Always be ready in case of emergency

• As with a flood, a storm can cause considerable damage to electrical installations and water intakes in particular. It is therefore advisable to always keep a torch, batteries, bottles of mineral water, cans and other foods that do not need to be kept in the refrigerator.
• Put together an emergency medical kit, which is easy to find and use in case of injury.
• Practice turning off the power and gas, even without light.
• Maintain your trees if they are close to your home, prune them regularly to limit potential damage due to high winds.
• Subscribe to the Facebook page of CGDIS - Corps grand-ducal d'incendie et de secours: In the event of an emergency situation CEGEDIS is among the first to issue a warning as well as official behavioral advice.

• Make sure antennas and satellite dishes are properly attached to your roof.
• Keep your shutters closed.
• Keep your garden furniture and car stowed away.
• Keep your pets safe, ideally inside your home or in an enclosed space.

If you have to go out on the road

Wind gusts, the risk of aquaplaning and poor visibility are the main sources of danger.
