PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Blowing dust can significantly lower air quality and it is 
encouraged that you take preventative measures such as staying 
indoors or wearing protective breathing masks if outside. High dust 
concentrations can cause respiratory problems, decrease lung 
activity, aggravate asthma, and lead to potential heart-related 
problems, especially with children, elderly or those with 
pre-existing respiratory conditions.

Be prepared for a prolonged period of poor air quality due to 
blowing dust.

Roads may close due to hazardous driving conditions in blowing dust. 
Traveling in blowing dust is very dangerous, do not attempt to go 
around barricades.
