Do not change lenses in a dusty area. This probably means you choose a lens and use it until you get to an area with no dust, but you can move to frame the shot accordingly. as long as you do not change lenses the seals should keep the dust out.
In very dusty areas, I keep my camera in the bag until I am ready to take a shot
Get a small brush attached to a squeeze ball that blows air through the bristles.
IF the dust in your area is anything like the areas I've been lived, you do not want it getting onto the glass of a lens a scratching it.Get two good quality UV filters, put one on top of the other over the lens. When the first one gets too dusty and you are in a hurry, remove it and the one below it continues to protect the lens. Do not remove this final UV filter, just clean both when you are in a less dusty area.
Clean all the cracks and niches often, especially if it might rain. if a dry abrasive dust is bad, a wet abrasive dust seeping into those areas, and drying, is even worse.
