Storm Safety Tips – If Caught Outdoors and No Shelter is Nearby
INFORMATIVE 
Tags: Storms, Saftey
When a thunderstorm has been identified and is approaching is can be very dangerous to be outside. Below is a list of safety tips to follow:
| | Find a low spot away from trees, fences and poles. Make sure the place you pick is not subject to flooding. |
| | If you are in the woods, take shelter under shorter trees. |
| | If you feel your skin tingle or your hair stand on end, squat low to the ground on the balls of your feet. Place your hands on your knees with your head between them. Make yourself the smallest target possible and minimize your contact to the ground. |
| | If you are boating or swimming, get to land and find shelter immediately. |
