Fluids, especially water are your best friend during sandstorms. Remember to keep well hydrated or even spray water on your face and eyes if you come in direct contact with dust.

1. If You’re Driving, Stop Your Car and Wait it Out

Pull over at the nearest safe spot, keep your headlights on, turn on your hazard lights, slow down, and proceed with caution, sounding your horn periodically. Use the highway’s centerline to guide you if you can’t see in front of you.
