This finding simply suggest that an increased activity can be expected in many regions – including areas that have historically seen less activity due to overly humid and wet conditions. And this trend is expected worldwide.Understanding the threat and preparing people, property and places for the increased risk is critical.

Below are some very basic lightning safety tips that every business should know.

• Seek safe shelter – a house and other substantial building offers the best protection from lightning

• Avoid unsafe shelter – unless specifically designed to be lightning safe, small structures like small open shelters do little to protect occupants from lightning.

• If you are outdoors – postpone activities promptly, stay away from trees, avoid leaning against vehicles, get out of water and avoid metal

• If you are indoors – avoid contact with corded phones, electrical equipment and plumbing. Also, bring your pet indoors before the storm.
