Answer 2

The main ways through which you can protect yourself from lightning are given below. You can choose from any of the points to your own liking.

• If the weather forecast calls for thunderstorms, postpone your trip or activity.

• Remember: When thunder roars, go indoors. Find a safe, enclosed shelter. Safe shelters include homes, offices, shopping centres, and hard-top vehicles with windows rolled up.

• Don’t forget the 30-30 rule. After you see lightning, start counting to 30. If you hear thunder before you reach 30, go indoors. Suspend activities for at least 30 minutes after the last clap of thunder.

• If you are caught in an open area, act quickly to find adequate shelter. The most important action is to remove yourself from danger. Crouching or getting low to the ground can reduce your chances of being struck but does not remove you from danger. If you are caught outside with no safe shelter nearby, the following actions may reduce your risk:

1. Immediately get off elevated areas such as hills, mountain ridges, or peaks.
2. Never lie flat on the ground. Crouch down in a ball-like position with your head tucked and hands over your ears so that you are down low with minimal contact with the ground.
3. Never shelter under an isolated tree.
4. Immediately get out of and away from ponds, lakes, and other bodies of water.
5. Stay away from objects that conduct electricity (such as barbed wire fences, power lines, or windmills).

• Stay away from concrete floors or walls. Lightning can travel through any metal wires or bars in concrete walls or flooring.
