What should we pay attention to when using electricity during thunder and lightning weather?

In order to use electricity safely, you must remember the following matters.

1. Pay attention to strengthening the flood prevention work on rainy days in the low-lying power distribution room in the building. Arrange special personnel for inspection during heavy rains to avoid water intrusion in the power distribution room and cause electricity accidents.

2. The foundations of overhead line poles should be reinforced to prevent rainwater from washing down the poles and endangering the safety of power supply.

3. During thunderstorms, do not approach or stay near high-voltage telephone poles, iron towers, grounding points of lightning rods, or under trees to avoid step voltage and electric shock during lightning strikes.

4. It is prohibited to approach operating power facilities.

5. The outdoor antenna and power cord should be well grounded to prevent electric shock due to lightning strikes.

6. Try to avoid using household appliances such as computers, televisions, telephones, etc. during thunderstorms. The power supply of electrical appliances should be cut off in time to avoid damage to the electrical appliances.

7. During thunderstorms, try not to make, answer calls, or surf the Internet. Unplug the power supply to avoid metal wires introducing lightning into the room.

8. During thunderstorms, avoid standing under light bulbs, metal water pipes entering the home, and sewer pipes connected to the roof to prevent lightning injuries.

9. During thunderstorms, the doors and windows of the house should be closed. For families with conditions, metal mesh covers can be installed on the doors and windows and well grounded to prevent "ball" lightning from entering the house and causing danger.

10. If there is an abnormal power outage during a thunderstorm, do not send power immediately. Professionals should carefully ensure safety before restoring power.
