What are the lightning protection points and precautions in thunderstorm weather?

The arrival of summer has also increased a lot of thunderstorm weather. Due to the influence of global climate change, the number of lightning strikes in China has increased year by year in recent ten years. In real life, superstitious legends such as "people don't do good, it thunders" have been circulating. In fact, lightning is a natural phenomenon. Just because most people have a weak awareness of lightning protection and know little about human lightning protection knowledge, lightning strikes all over the country every year, causing casualties. Only by vigorously promoting lightning protection knowledge can casualties caused by lightning strike be prevented.

Indoor lightning protection: the power supply of various household appliances in the room should be cut off; Pay attention to close the doors and windows, and don't go near the doors and windows leading to the outside; Do not get close to metal pipes such as water pipes, heating pipes and gas pipes; Don't take a bath in the bathroom and don't use solar water heaters; Try not to make or answer fixed telephone calls; Do not handle flammable items in open containers; Don't hang or collect clothes on iron pipes or wires on the balcony.

Outdoor lightning protection: try to avoid outdoor activities. At the same time, don't ride motorcycles, bicycles or run in the wild; When walking in the open field, don't use an umbrella with a metal handle or shoulder metal objects, find a low-lying place and squat down with your feet together to reduce the height as much as possible; Don't touch the rocks on the cave wall when you enter the cave to take shelter from the rain; Don't stay at the top of the building; Don't shelter from the rain beside trees, billboards, chimneys and lampposts; Don't use mobile phones and walkie-talkies outdoors, and don't swim, row boats or fish. When a high-voltage line near your body is struck by lightning, jump off the scene with your feet together.

It is safe to stay in the car in thunderstorm weather, but don't stick your head or other parts of your body out of the window. If you feel your hair stand on end, or your skin is obviously shaking, you should know that you may get an electric shock. After the lightning, you should lie on the ground and call for help immediately. When someone is struck by lightning, artificial respiration and external heart massage should be performed immediately, and they should be sent to the hospital for further rescue as soon as possible.

In thunderstorm weather, we must suspend the use of all electrical equipment, especially the use of communication equipment such as mobile phones. Don't take shelter from the rain under trees, let alone under metal buildings. We should always know the preventive measures for thunderstorm weather. I hope everyone can spend this summer safely and meet a better tomorrow.
