Question

How can you protect yourself from a sandstorm?

Answer 1

Wind-propelled sand can hurt, but a dust storm's high winds can also carry heavier (more dangerous) objects. If you find yourself without shelter, try to stay low to the ground and protect your head with your arms, a backpack or a pillow. Wait out the storm. Don't try to move through the storm; it's much too dangerous.
