How To Protect Yourself In A Sandstorm

If no other sturdy shelter is available, lay down on the ground with your back toward the approaching storm, and cover your face, ears, and neck with a cloth. Stay put until the storm passes.

To protect yourself in a sandstorm, there are a few things that you can do. First, cover your mouth and eyes to protect them from dust. Try to stay inside the vehicle if you get caught in a sandstorm while driving. It might also be best to pull the vehicle off the road.
