Dust storms(沙尘暴) appear when strong wind blows sand and dirt from a dry surface. Strong dust storms may cause deaths, so you should know how to protect yourself from dust storms when you meet them.
Be careful of dust storm warnings | Dust storms probably happen on hot summer days, and it's not safe for people to travel during this period. So you should listen to the local TV or radio before travelling, and consider changing or giving up your trip if dust storms are predicted(预测). |
Be prepared | If you are in a place where storms happen often, carry a mask(面具) to keep dust and dirt away from your face, and a pair of glasses to protect your eyes. |
Stay inside | Do not move around when a dust storm comes, as you will not be able to see hidden(隐藏) dangers. So if you are in a house, don't go out and just stay inside. |
Protect yourself from flying objects | Cover your body as much as possible in a dust storm. A strong wind of dust storms can carry heavy objects, so you should try to stay low, and close to the ground, and protect your head with your arms or a backpack. |
