Precautions to be taken during thunderstorms and lightning
- It is not advisable to seek shelter under trees. During thunderstorms, stay away from ponds, lakes, and other water bodies.
- Make sure you are indoors – inside your car, bus, or train; seek a safe pukka shelter. Once you hear the last thunderclap, do not go outside for thirty minutes.
- In the absence of shelter, enter the lightning crouch- a ball-like position with hands over your ears so that you are low and minimize contact with the ground.
- Keep a safe distance from downed power lines and do not use any electrical or electronic appliances.
