High Wind Safety Checklist

El Paso Fire Department Officials are asking the public to take precautions during high wind conditions and offer these safety tips:

• Conduct a home hazard hunt and perimeter search, in which you inspect your home for items that can move, fall, break or cause a fire

• Make trees more wind resistant by removing diseased and damaged limbs

• Move or secure lawn furniture, outdoor decorations or ornaments, trash cans, hanging plants and anything else that can be picked up by wind and become a projectile

• Slow down when driving and have enough distance with the car in front of you due to blowing dust lowering visibility

• Do not attempt to remove any electrical wires that fall on your homes and vehicles; call 911 immediately
