HOEVEN PROCLAIMS SEVERE SUMMER WEATH
Bismarck. ND - April 20, 2009 -
Governor John Hoeven today pro-
claimed April 20 24 Severe
Summer Weather Awareness Week.
One week, every April, is set aside to
focus attention on severe summer
weather and the need for the public to
be informed and prepared for it.
Severe Summer Weather
Awareness Week encourages the
public, businesses, schools, and gov-
ernment agencies to focus on being
prepared and being informed about
severe summer weather.
Severe summer storms can cause
damaging winds, hail. rural fires,
flash flooding, hazardous materials
releases, and power outages.
Experience has demonstrated that a
well-informed and prepared public
can better'cope with and survive life
threatening sever summer storms.
Lightning/thunderstorms
When thunder roars, go indoors
When to Seek Safe Shelter:
Lightning can strike as far as l0 miles
from the area where it is raining.
That's about the distance you can
hear thunder. If you can hear thunder,
you are within striking distance. Seek
safe shelter immediately.
Outdoor Activities: Minimize the
risk of being struck. If you are boat-
ing or swimming, get out of boats and
away from the water, get to land and
find shelter immediately. Most light-
ning deaths and injuries occur in the
summer. Where organized outdoor
sports activities take place, coaches,
camp counselors, and other adults
must stop activities at the first roar of
thunder to ensure everyone time to
get a large building or enclosed vehi-
cle. Leaders of outdoors events
should have a written plan that all
staff are aware of and enforce.
Indoor Activities-Things to Avoid:
Inside building, stay off corded
phones, computers, and other electri-
cal equipment that put you in direct
contact with electricity. Stay away
frojn pools, indoor or outdoor, tubs,
showers, and other plumbing. Buy
sure suppressors for key equipment.
Install ground fault protectors on cir-
cuits near water or outdoors. When
inside, wait 30 minutes after the last
strike, before going out again.
Helping a Lightning Strike
Victim: If a person is struck by light-
ning, call 911 and get medical care
immediately. Cardiac arrest and
irregularities, bums, and nerve dam-
age are common in cases where peo-
ple are struck by lightning. However,
with proper treatment, including CPR
if necessary, most .victims survive a
lightning strike. You are in no danger
helping a lightning victim. The
charge will not affect you[
Thunderstorms and lightning are
dangerous. With common sense, you
can greatly increase your safety and
the safety of those you are with. At
the first clap of thunder, go a large
building or fully enclosed vehicle and
wait 30 minutes after the last clap of
thunder to back outside.

Here's what you can do once
flooding has started to keep your
family safe.
• Fill bathtub~ sinks and jugs with
clean water in case water becomes
contaminated. • Listen to a battery-
operated radio for the latest storm
information. • If local authorities
instruct you to do so, turn off all util-
ities at the main power switch and
close the main gas valve. ° If told to
evacuate your home. do so immedi-
ately. ° If the waters start to rise
inside your house before you have
evacuated, retreat to the second floor,
the attic, or if necessary, the roof. •
Floodwaters may carry raw sewage,
chemical waste and other disease-
spreading substances. If you've come
in contact with floodwaters, wash
your hands with soap and disinfected
water. • Avoid walking through
floodwaters. As little as six inches of
moving water can knock you off your
feet. ° Don't drive through a flooded
area. If you come upon a flooded
road. turn around and go another
way. A car can be carried away by
just two feet of flood water. • Electric
current passes easily through water.
so stay away from downed power
lines and electrical wires. ° Animals
lose their homes in floods, too. Be
aware that even domesticated ani-
inals may be confused and unpre-
dictable in a flood situation.
