1. Stay Indoors:
- Seek shelter in a sturdy building with a metal frame or plumbing, as they act as conductors that dissipate lightning energy.
- Avoid touching metal objects, plumbing, electrical appliances, and windows.
2. Outdoors:
- If caught outdoors, find a low, non-conductive area away from trees, tall structures, water, and open fields.
- Crouch down and make yourself as small a target as possible.
- Do not lie flat on the ground as it provides a larger surface area for lightning to strike.
3. Avoid Water and Metal:
- Keep away from metal fences, golf clubs, fishing rods, umbrellas, and bodies of water, including swimming pools, lakes, and rivers.
- Remove jewelry and other metal objects from your body.
4. Trees and Shelter:
- Do not take shelter under trees, especially isolated or tall ones, as lightning tends to strike them.
- If there is no other option, stay on the side of a low tree facing away from the storm.
- Avoid wooden benches, picnic tables, and other structures that may not provide adequate protection.
5. Transportation:
- Stay inside a hard-top metal vehicle with the windows closed.
- Do not drive with the convertible top down or the windows fully open.
- If on a motorcycle or bicycle, pull over and seek shelter in a building or under a bridge.
6. Electrical Appliances:
- Turn off and unplug electronic devices, appliances, and outdoor equipment.
- Avoid using landlines or corded headphones.
- Charge portable devices fully before the storm.
7. Stay Informed:
- Monitor weather forecasts and heed severe thunderstorm warnings.
- Use lightning detection apps or websites to track the location and intensity of lightning strikes.
8. Lightning Safety Plan:
- Develop a lightning safety plan for your home, school, or workplace.
- Identify safe areas and evacuation routes.
- Designate a responsible person to monitor weather updates and provide instructions.
9. Lightning Strike First Aid:
- If someone is struck by lightning, call 911 immediately.
- Check for breathing and pulse. If not present, perform CPR.
