Advice against strong gusts of wind

27 December 2017 - 08: 03

The gusts of wind that we are suffering in Dénia this Wednesday, 27 in December, can reach up to 70 km / h. This intensity can be an important risk when driving, going out on the street or in the countryside.

From the service of attention to the citizens of the 112 of the Generalitat Valenciana they recommend to review the houses so that there are no cornices, balconies and facades in bad condition that can cause falls of rubble and rubble; close doors and windows to avoid drafts that can lead to breakage and falling of glass; secure elements such as awnings, blinds and antennas; and remove pots, cages and any object that may fall to the street.

In the street or the field, it is recommended not to leave if it is not necessary; get away from old houses or in poor condition; avoid walls and billboards; do not go through parks or tree-lined avenues, since the trees offer the danger of falling and breaking large branches; and do not go under scaffolding or buildings under construction, since light poles and high voltage towers are very dangerous.

On the road, it is recommended not to drive if possible; reduce the speed to safety limits, since a blow of wind can deflect the trajectory; and if necessary, stop in a safe area and wait for the wind to subside.
