ACTIONS TO TAKE

• If caught in the open, please avoid sheltering under isolated trees or in isolated sheds as these tend to be natural lightning conductors.

• When a thunderstorm threatens, get inside a home or large building,

• Even when lightning is seen in a distance, it might not be safe to be outdoors. The rough rule of noting the safe zone when you see lightning is the 30-30 Rule: If you see lightning and cannot count up to 30 seconds before you hear thunder, then you are not safe from the next lightning strike.

• Where possible, install lightning conductors on buildings.
