Due to typhoons and calamities, the Philippines is prone to experiencing thunderstorms, which can injure or kill an individual.<\/p>\n

Relating to this, there are numerous reports of Filipinos who are killed due to lightning, especially in the provinces, every time a typhoon is in the country.<\/p>\n

To avoid such a scenario, here are the following reminders as preparation when thunderstorms are experienced in your area. <\/p>\n

1. Avoid going to open spaces<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The lighting during thunderstorms is attracted to open spaces as it can hit the ground. Places like fields with trees are some to avoid during this calamity.<\/p>\n

The current can strike a person directly or through the ground, where the energy travels on the land surface to the person.<\/p>\n

With this in mind, it is advisable to stay indoors or in a hardtop vehicle for protection. <\/p>\n

2. Avoid plumbing or bathroom fixtures<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Plumbing and other bathroom fixtures were described as being good conductors of energy and avoiding water components that can attract lightning.<\/p>\n

Moreover, other experts also advised individuals to temporarily avoid any water sources inside their households while thunderstorms are occurring.<\/p>\n

3. Unplug electric appliances<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To make sure that your household is safe, the Philippine government also advises individuals to temporarily unplug electric appliances, especially during intense thunderstorms.<\/p>\n

This not only provides safety precautions for the people inside the house but also keeps your appliances damage-free after a thunderstorm. <\/p>\n

4. Stay off your phone and other gadgets<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This advisory is commonly disseminated during heavy thunderstorms, as these gadgets can also attract electric currents, just like appliances.<\/p>\n

If your household ever wanted to monitor thunderstorms or typhoon advisories, it was recommended to use battery-operated radios.<\/p>\n

5. Avoid windows or glass doors<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Choosing a safe place during thunderstorms involves avoiding a room that is full of windows and glass doors, as these could be broken due to the calamity, which may cause injury.<\/p>\n

The Philippine government also advised individuals to consider going to the lowest floor of a building to easily evacuate if needed.<\/p>\n

Given these key points, may we always be reminded to take extra care during typhoons and thunderstorms to ensure not only our safety but also our loved ones. <\/p>\n
