Storm safety tips
From TipThePlanet
- Check the local forecast daily -- then make your plans.
- Monitor the skies for quick moving dark clouds.
- Have a "Safety Plan" for the entire family before a storm arrives.
- If you are in the water, go to land immediately and take shelter.
- Choose a building over a car for shelter.
- Keep windows closed if in a car.
- If no shelter is available, find a low lying area away from trees, poles or other objects that conduct electricity.
- Squat down (do not lie down) in a tucked position and wait for the storm to pass. Limit your points of contact to the ground to just your feet.
- Stay off of phones and away from plumbing.
