If you can hear thunder, remember that you are close enough to be struck by lightening. Seek shelter immediately and do the following:

• move to a sturdy building or car
• get out of boats and away from water
• unplug unnecessary appliances
• do not take a bath or a shower
• stay away from windows
• if flooding is happening, get to higher ground.

One way to ensure you are safe during a natural disaster is to always be prepared.Emergency readiness plans are very useful and come in handy. Practice emergency drills and always think "what if." To help keep children and the elderly safe, practicing these drills will give them the tools to know what to do in dire situations. There are many variables that come in to play and you want to be sure that you are ready for as many as possible.
