Lightning is an extremely significant weather hazard that often results in fatalities and injuries each year in the United States. The document outlines several key lightning safety procedures, including seeking shelter inside a building when thunderstorms are near and avoiding outdoor activities or locations that increase risk, such as trees, open areas, and bodies of water. Proper shelter from lightning includes fully enclosed buildings, not vehicles. First aid for lightning victims includes calling 911 and promptly applying CPR.
