How should people prevent lightning strikes?

Tall buildings and storage tanks lacking or unqualified lightning protection equipment, metal roofs without good grounding, buildings and trees in wet or open areas, places with radios on buildings without lightning arresters or good grounding are all vulnerable to lightning strikes.

In order to prevent lightning damage, we should pay attention to the following aspects:

Install lightning protection devices on buildings. That is, lightning protection devices are used to introduce lightning current into the earth and then disappear;

During a thunderstorm, do not approach the high-voltage distribution room, high-voltage wires and isolated tall buildings, chimneys, poles and flagpoles. Don't stand in an empty highland or under a big tree to shelter from the rain;

Do not use metal tools such as crowbars when working in the suburbs or in the open air;

Don't wear wet clothes near or stand on metal objects piled up in the open air;

Don't turn on your mobile phone at the top of the mountain in thunderstorm weather, let alone use it;

Do not touch and approach the grounding conductor of lightning protection device in thunderstorm weather;

In thunderstorm days, stay away from lighting lines, telephone lines, TV lines and other lines indoors to prevent lightning from invading and being hurt;

When it thunders and rains, it is forbidden to stay at the top of the mountain or in hilly areas. It is forbidden to continue climbing to watch the rain scene. It is not allowed to hide under big trees or near telephone poles. Don't walk or stand in the wild. You should hide in a low-lying place as soon as possible, or try to find a house or a dry cave to hide.

In thunderstorm weather, don't use an umbrella with a metal handle. Take off glasses, watches and belts with metal frames. If you want to leave the bike as soon as possible, you should also stay away from other metal objects to avoid being struck by lightning because of conduction.

Don't go swimming, boating and fishing in rivers and lakes in thunderstorm weather;

When it is thunderous and stormy, visitors should immediately turn off the indoor TV, tape recorder, stereo, air conditioner and other electrical appliances to avoid using electricity if they rest in the hotel. It's safer in the middle of the room when it thunders. Don't stay under the electric light, and don't lean against posts, walls, doors and windows, so as to avoid accidents caused by induced electricity when it thunders.

When lightning strikes, the traveling companion should take the patient to the hospital immediately. If breathing and heartbeat have stopped at that time, mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and chest massage should be carried out at the scene immediately, and on-site rescue should be actively carried out.

Don't rush to the hospital without rescue, otherwise it will delay the onset and lead to death. Sometimes, on the way to the hospital, we have to continue artificial respiration and chest massage. In addition, we should pay attention to keep patients warm. If you have mania, convulsions, convulsions and other mental symptoms, you should also do a cold compress on your head. For the part of electric burn, in the case of first aid, it is only necessary to keep it dry or bandage it.
