Instruction:
Blowing dust brings reduced visibility, leading to dangerous driving
conditions. If driving, avoid blowing dust if possible. If caught in
dense blowing dust, pull off the road, turn off your lights and keep
your foot off the brake.
Blowing dust can be unhealthy and has been known to lead to Valley
Fever. Avoid outdoor exposure.
To report hazardous dust conditions, contact the National Weather
Service, or your nearest law enforcement agency, who will relay your
report to the National Weather Service office in Phoenix AZ.
