BEFORE YOU ST

ART

SEVERE WEATHER HAZARD

In some climactic conditions (for example, severe storms, high winds,
or heavy snow cover), stakes and guy cords may not be sufficient to
anchor a carport securely, which could result in the carport being
picked up or blown away, causing death, serious injury, or permanent
disability.  Under such conditions:

• DO use supplemental means to securely anchor the shelter, for

example, snow pegs, skis, and/or heavy rocks or other 
heavy objects.

• DO seek appropriate shelter, for example, in a house, cabin, 

building, or secure structure other than a shelter.

Your failure to follow this warning will cause death, serious injury, or 
permanent disability to you or others.

PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN

Children will not understand and appreciate the FIRE, CARBON 
MONOXIDE POISONING, SUFFOCATION, AND SEVERE WEATHER
hazards described above and will not know how to avoid or respond
to these hazards if no adults are present. For this reason:

• DO NOT leave children unattended inside a shelter or in camp.
• DO NOT allow children to assemble a shelter.
• DO NOT allow children to enter or exit a shelter except through 

the door.

• DO NOT allow children to remain in a closed-up shelter on 

hot days.

Your failure to follow this warning will cause death, serious injury, or 
permanent disability to you or others.
