Summer Sand Storms

4/21/2022 (Permalink)

As summer nears, when dust storms become more frequent throughout central Arizona, SERVPRO wants to ensure that families are safe and prepared. Also known, as haboobs, such storms are unexpected, unpredictable rushes of air called micro-bursts. They spread out along the ground and sweep along the desert landscape. They are usually a quick burst of high, very powerful winds lasting a few minutes up to an hour. The apparent dangers are loss of visibly, poor breathing conditions, unsafe driving conditions, lack of warning, and flying debris. This type of storm can place your home or business at risk for flood damage, fire damage, and air quality risk.

Some safety precautions can be taken to lessen the effect:

• Close all windows, doors, vents, or airflow into or out of your home or business.
• If it is safe, remove any items on the property that could become flying debris.
• Listen and follow the directions that the National Weather Service communicates.
