- trova rifugio in un anfratto di roccia solo se asciutto, al riparo da possibili scariche di sassi, possibili in presenza di fenomeni violenti;

- evita di avvicinarti o appoggiarti a pareti con percolazione d'acqua;

- rifugiati se possibile in auto, lontano da ruscelli e torrenti che in pochi minuti possono assumere regime di piena, con portiere e finestrini chiusi: è un luogo molto sicuro in caso di fulmini.PASSAPAROLA con una condivisione: grazie!
