2. Properly protect outdoor items or equipment such as cars that are vulnerable to hail attacks.

3. If you are outdoors, you should quickly protect your head with umbrellas, satchels and other items, and hide under buildings and solid bunkers in time to prevent being hurt by hail.

4. When there are no obstacles, hide in the lee, cross your arms to protect your head and face, bend your legs forward and squat down, and keep your hands and back up to minimize the exposure of your body parts.

5. Outdoor personnel should not enter isolated shacks, sentry boxes and other buildings, nor avoid hail in tall chimneys, telephone poles or big trees, and try to find a solid place to avoid, especially when encountering lightning.
