11. LIGHTNING SAFETY RULES
(OUTDOORS)
BE ALERT OF THE SIGNS OF THE
IMPENDING STORM
GET AWAY FROM TREES OR TALL
OBJECTS. STAY AWAY FROM HILLTOPS,
BENCHES AND OPEN FIELDS AND SEEK
SHELTER IN A LOW LYING AREA SUCH AS A
DITCH OR RAVINE.
IF YOU ARE WITH OTHER PEOPLE,
SPREAD OUT.
STAY AWAY FROM WATER OR WET AREAS.

12. DITCH
RAVINE

13. Lightning safety experts have
invented a "lightning safety position"
that is very important to know if you
are caught in a thunder storm and you
can't find a shelter. This position looks
hard, but it could save your life. There
are several reasons for doing it.
 It makes you a smaller target.
 With your heels together, if lightning
hits the ground, it goes through the
closest foot, up to your heel and then
transfers to the other foot and goes
back to the ground again. If you don't
put your feet together, lightning could
go through your heart and kill you.
 You put your hands over your ears to
protect them from thunder.
WHAT TO DO IF THERE IS NO SHELTER AND YOU
ARE CAUGHT IN A THUNDERSTORM?

14. LIGHTNING SAFETY
RULES (INDOORS)
STAY AWAY FROM ELECTRICAL
SOCKETS, APPLIANCES,
TELEVISION AND TELEPHONES;
SHUT-OFF THE MAIN POWER
SWITCH.
STAY AWAY FROM WINDOWS,
WATER FAUCETS, PIPES AND
ELECTRICAL OUTLETS.

16. HAZARDS
ASSOCIATED WITH
THUNDERSTORMS:
HEAVY RAINS
HEAVY RAINS (30 MIN TO 0NE HOUR) DURING
THUNDERSTORMS) MAY CAUSE FLASH FLOODS
OR FLOODING IN LOW LYING AREAS
MAY ALSO CAUSE LANDSLIDES IN MOUNTAIN
AREAS

 Locally known as “HABAGAT”.
 Very warm and very humid.
 Occurs when warm moist air flows over
the country from the southwest
direction.
 Characterized by heavy rainfall that may
lasts for a week.
 Affects the country from May to

30. Tropical Cyclones
 It is a low pressure system
 Characterized by winds spiralling inward
in a counter-clockwise direction (in
Northern Hemisphere)
 Originates from tropical oceans
 Wind speed ranges from 45 kph to about
300 kph
 Its diameter ranges from 300 to 1,000
kms in diameter

31. CLASSIFICATION OF TROPICAL CYCLONES
 TROPICAL DEPRESSION - maximum sustained wind is
less than 61 kph
 TROPICAL STORM - maximum sustained wind is from 62
to 117 kph
 SEVERE TROPICAL STORM (STS) - maximum wind
speed of 89 to 117 kph or 48 - 63 knots.
 TYPHOON – maximum sustained wind is 118-220 kph
 Super Typhoon – maximum sustained winds is greater
than 220 kph.

32. THE “EYE” OF A TYPHOON
 With very light or calm wind
 Clear sky or with few clouds
 10-100 kilometers in diameter
 Surrounded by massive cloud
formation which is the source of heavy
rains
 Winds in the wall of the “eye” is
maximum
 Used as reference in tracking
