and limit their exposure to the rain and to listen to public weather
announcements.

The red warning is hoisted when the rainfall has
exceeded 50 millimetres an hour, and is likely to continue. People working
outside should head back indoors while motorists should keep an eye on road
conditions.
When the black rainstorm warning is raised it means
that the rainfall has exceeded 70 millilitres an hour and is likely to
continue. Everyone, including students and workers, are advised to stay indoors
or take shelter until the heavy rain has passed.
If the thunderstorm warning is hoisted, everyone
must seek safe shelters if they are outdoors, especially those who are swimming
or engaged in other outdoor water sports.
The public is advised not to remain on high grounds and to keep away from highly
conductive objects, trees or masts.
