Q1: Is your vehicle in deep hail?

Caller's vehicle IS in deep hail:

• Close all of your windows.
• You should stay in your vehicle unless it begins to wash away toward a deep body of water (like a river). It is very dangerous to exit your car. You could be swept away and buried in the hail.

Caller's car IS NOT in deep hail:

Tell the caller...

• Do not drive into areas with deep hail. You could be swept away.
• Do not leave your car until the hail stops. Your car will furnish reasonable protection.
• Stay away from windows. Cover your eyes with something (like a piece of clothing). If possible, get onto the floor face down, or lay down on the seat with your back to the windows. Put very small children under you, and cover their eyes.

NOTE: If the reported size is ¾" or greater, mark the location of the report on a map. Pass the report along to both the local Emergency Operations Center (or Emergency Manager), and the nearest National Weather Service office (as time permits).
