Lightning Safety

Thunderstorms and lightning can create dangerous conditions quickly, especially for people participating in outdoor activities. Lightning may strike even when a storm seems distant, making it important to act before conditions become hazardous. Outdoor activity organizers should have a clear lightning safety plan and follow it consistently to protect participants, reduce judgment errors, and ensure everyone moves to a safe location before the threat becomes severe.
