PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Blowing dust can significantly lower air quality and it is
encouraged that you take preventative measures such as staying
indoors or wearing protective breathing masks if outside. High dust
concentrations can cause respiratory problems, decrease lung
activity, aggravate asthma, and lead to potential heart-related
problems, especially with children, elderly or those with
pre-existing respiratory conditions.

Be ready for a sudden drop in visibility to near zero. If you
encounter blowing dust or blowing sand on the roadway or see it
approaching, pull off the road as far as possible and put your
vehicle in park. Turn the lights all the way off and keep foot off
the brake pedal. Remember, `Pull Aside, Stay Alive`.
