Info

Lightning Lightning is the result of sudden discharges of electrical charges generated from a thunderhead or cloud bank. The powerful electrical charge and intense heat lightning produces can electrocute on contact, start forest fires, and cause electrical failures. • Severe Thunderstorm Watch (up to 6 hours notice): Be aware if lightning is nearby. • Severe Thunderstorm Warning (0-1 hour notice): Go indoors for protection if possible. If Indoors: • Follow the direction of designated emergency team member(s), your supervisor or emergency personnel. • Stay away from water, faucets, sinks, and windows. Do not use telephone or any electrical appliances. DURING If Outdoors: • Stay away from open areas, tall trees, and open waters (lakes). • If caught in an open area, minimize your contact with the ground. Crouch low on the balls of your feet; do not be the tallest thing around you. • If you are with a group, move away from each other, so electricity does not travel from one to the other. • Keep clear of metal objects. Stay away from water, faucets, sinks, and windows. Do not use telephone or any electrical appliances. Stay away from open areas, tall trees, and open water (lakes).
Floods, Flash Floods and Tsunamis Floods can be caused by prolonged rainfall, broken dams or levees, intense rainfall of one or more inches per hour, or the sudden burst of pipes inside buildings. Floods can also be the result of thunderstorms, hurricanes, earthquakes or tsunamis. Most flash flooding is caused by slow-moving thunderstorms, storms that repeatedly move over the same area, or heavy rains from tropical storms and hurricanes. Earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions, and explosions can generate tsunamis. If a “Watch” is issued: • Follow the directions of designated emergency team member(s), your supervisor or emergency personnel. • Listen to the advice of local officials. • Move records, computers, or other critical items to a higher level, if possible, or relocate them to a safe place. • Be prepared to evacuate. DURING Once originated, a tsunami can arrive at the shoreline in a relatively short time, and can be long in duration (8 hours or more). Water levels can rise as high as 30 feet for tsunamis of distant origin. In extreme cases, those created near an earthquake’s epicenter can rise 100 feet or more. • Flood Watch: Flooding is possible within the designated “watch” area. • Flood Warning: Flooding has been reported or is impending within the designated “warning” area. Please note that you may not always have a “warning” that floods are coming. If a “Warning” is issued: • If you are instructed to evacuate, do so immediately. • Go to higher ground! • Move to a safe area before flood waters cut off access. • Continue to listen to the radio for weather information. • A car can be an extremely dangerous place in a flood. Moving water no higher than a car bumper may sweep a car away.Watch for flooding at highway dips, bridges, and low areas if you are in your car. If your vehicle stalls, leave it immediately and seek higher ground. Listen to the advice of local officials. If you are instructed to evacuate, do so immediately. Lightning / Floods and Tsunamis
