CORRECTED: NATIONAL LIGHTNING SAFETY AWARENESS
WEEK CAMPAIGN FOR 2009
CORRECTED TO NOTE THAT ALL LINKS SHOULD BE TYPE IN
LOWER CASE LETTERS.
WHEN THUNDER ROARS...GO INDOORS
THE NWS WILL SPONSOR ITS 9TH ANNUAL LIGHTNING SAFETY
AWARENESS WEEK CAMPAIGN FROM JUNE 21-27 2009.
THE 2009 CAMPAIGN HIGHLIGHTS THE DEVASTATING EFFECTS OF
LIGHTNING INJURIES ON VICTIMS AND THEIR FAMILIES. THE
CAMPAIGN FEATURES A COMPELLING VIDEO PUBLIC SERVICE
ANNOUNCEMENT BY ELLEN BRYAN...A MISS OHIO AND MISS AMERICA
HOPEFUL...AND HER SISTER CHRISTINA BRYAN...WHO WAS STRUCK
BY LIGHTNING NINE YEARS AGO. ALSO NEW THIS YEAR IS A
TRIFOLD BROCHURE WITH LIGHTNING SAFETY INFORMATION.
THE GOAL OF THIS CAMPAIGN IS TO HELP PEOPLE ACROSS THE
NATION UNDERSTAND THE DANGERS OF LIGHTNING SO THAT THEY
TAKE THE APPROPRIATE ACTIONS WHEN THUNDERSTORMS THREATEN.
LAST YEAR IN THE UNITED STATES...HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WERE
INJURED OR KILLED BY LIGHTNING. LIGHTNING INJURIES CAN BE
LIFELONG AND EXTREMELY DEBILIATING. ON AVERAGE LIGHTNING
KILLS ABOUT 60 PEOPLE ANNUALLY IN THE UNITED STATES.
LIGHTNING DEATHS AND INJURIES OCCUR MOST FREQUENTLY UNDER
AND NEAR TREES AND IN OPEN AREAS. LIGHTNING SAFETY IS
CRUCIAL WHEN YOU ARE OUTDOORS...ESPECIALLY SINCE SO MANY
SUMMER ACTIVITIES TAKE PLACE IN OPEN AREAS SUCH AS ATHLETIC
FIELDS...GOLF COURSES AND BEACHES. IF YOU HEAR THUNDER...
SEEK SAFE SHELTER IMMEDIATELY IN A FULLY ENCLOSED BUILDING
OR HARD-TOPPED VEHICLE. THERE IS NO SAFE PLACE OUTDOORS.
PEOPLE ARE PARTICULARLY VULNERABLE TO LIGHTNING STRIKES
WHEN A STORM IS APPROACHING OR EXITING THEIR AREA.
LIGHTNING CAN STRIKE MORE THAN 10 MILES AWAY FROM A
THUNDERSTORM. RAINFALL IS NOT AN INDICATOR OF YOUR RISK
FOR BEING STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.

SOLICITING COMMENTS FOR EXPERIMENTAL SAFFIR-
SIMPSON HURRICANE SCALE REVISION THROUGH
NOVEMBER 30 2009
CORRECTED TO CLARIFY SAFFIR-SIMPSON CATEGORIES AND MOVE
TROPICAL CYCLONE PUBLIC ADVISORY UNDER LIST OF NHC/CPHC
PRODUCTS OFFERING STORM SURGE REFERENCES
BEGINNING JUNE 1 2009 AND CONTINUING THROUGH NOVEMBER 30
2009... NWS IS SEEKING USER FEEDBACK ON EXPERIMENTALLY
REMOVING STORM SURGE AND FLOODING REFERENCES FROM THE
SAFFIR-SIMPSON HURRICANE SCALE. THE CHANGE WOULD APPLY TO
STORMS IN THE ATLANTIC AND EASTERN NORTH AND CENTRAL
PACIFIC BASINS. NWS PROPOSES TO RENAME THE SCALE THE
SAFFIR-SIMPSON HURRICANE WIND SCALE.
THE SAFFIR-SIMPSON HURRICANE SCALE /DEFINITIONS AND
EFFECTS/ IN ITS CURRENT FORM INCLUDES STORM SURGE RANGES
AND FLOODING REFERENCES. STORM SURGE RANGES SHOWN IN THE
EXISTING SCALE ARE FREQUENTLY INCORRECT FOR THE INDICATED
CATEGORY AS DETERMINED SOLELY BY WIND SPEED AND POTENTIALLY
MISLEADING IN PREPAREDNESS DECISIONS SINCE THE ACTUAL
FLOODING DEPENDS ON SEVERAL OTHER FACTORS SUCH AS STORM
SIZE AND LANDFALL LOCATION.
THEREFORE...ON AN EXPERIMENTAL BASIS FOR THE 2009 TROPICAL
CYCLONE SEASON...THESE STORM SURGE RANGES AND FLOODING
REFERENCES WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE DEFINITION/EFFECTS FOR
ALL CATEGORIES...CATEGORIES ONE THROUGH FIVE. THE REVISED
CONTENT WILL BE INCLUDED EXPERIMENTALLY THIS YEAR IN A
SCALE CALLED THE SAFFIR-SIMPSON HURRICANE WIND SCALE.
EXPECTED STORM SURGE AND COASTAL FLOODING FOR INDIVIDUAL
STORMS ARE CONTAINED IN OTHER NWS PRODUCTS:

EXCESSIVE HEAT GUIDANCE FOR 2009 SEASON
THE OFFICIAL START OF SUMMER IS ABOUT A MONTH AWAY BUT IT IS NOT
UNUSUAL TO EXPERIENCE EXTREME HEAT BEFORE MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND.
IN FACT DURING THE LAST WEEK OF APRIL 2009...THE NORTHEAST
STATES EXPERIENCED AN EARLY SEASON HEAT WAVE AND EXCEPTIONALLY
WARM RECORD-SETTING TEMPERATURES DOMINATED THE SOUTHEAST. NWS
WANTS TO REMIND YOU OF AVAILABLE HEAT RELATED ADVISORY AND
WARNING PRODUCTS...AND ASSOCIATED SAFETY PRECAUTIONS...FOR THE
2009 SUMMER SEASON.
UNUSUALLY HIGH TEMPERATURES CAN ENDANGER LIVES AND HAVE ADVERSE
EFFECTS ON HEALTH. DURING THE AUGUST 2007 HEAT WAVE ACROSS MUCH
OF THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN PARTS OF THE SOUTHERN U.S. MORE THAN
50 HEAT-RELATED DEATHS OCCURRED...ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL
CLIMATIC DATA CENTER. HEAT IS A SILENT KILLER THAT DOES NOT HAVE
THE SAME VISUAL IMPACT AS OTHER WEATHER HAZARDS SUCH AS
TORNADOES AND HURRICANES. HOWEVER MEASURES CAN BE TAKEN TO HELP
AVOID THE DEVASTATING EFFECTS OF EXCESSIVE HEAT.
BASED ON 10-YEAR AVERAGES COMPILED BY NWS OFFICE OF CLIMATE...
WATER...AND WEATHER SERVICES AND THE NATIONAL CLIMATIC DATA
CENTER...EXCESSIVE HEAT IS THE TOP WEATHER-RELATED KILLER...
ACCOUNTING FOR ABOUT 26 PERCENT OF THE FATALITIES DURING THE
PERIOD 1998 TO 2007...MORE THAN THE PERCENTAGE OF LIGHTNING...
TORNADOES...AND WINTER STORMS COMBINED /ABOUT 22 PERCENT/ FOR
THAT SAME PERIOD.
NWS COLLABORATES WITH PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTOR ORGANIZATIONS...
ACADEMIA...THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY...AND THE MEDIA TO CREATE AND
DELIVER NEW AND ENHANCED EXCESSIVE HEAT PRODUCTS AND SERVICES.
EXTENSIVE INFORMATION ABOUT HEAT WAVES AND HEAT SAFETY CAN BE
FOUND ONLINE AT /USE LOWERCASE/:
HTTP://NOAAWATCH.GOV/THEMES/HEAT.PHP
SOME OF THE TOPICS COVERED ON THIS WEB PAGE INCLUDE HEAT SAFETY
TIPS...HEAT DISORDERS...AND FIRST AID TIPS PROVIDED BY:
-CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION /CDC/
-AMERICAN RED CROSS
-ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY /EPA/
-U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY /DHS/
-NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE /NWS/
DETAILS ON THE HEALTH SYMPTOMS ASSOCIATED WITH EXCESSIVE HEAT
ARE ALSO FOUND ON THIS SITE.
ELDERLY PERSONS... SMALL CHILDREN... CHRONIC INVALIDS... THOSE
ON CERTAIN MEDICATIONS OR DRUGS AND PERSONS WITH WEIGHT AND
ALCOHOL PROBLEMS ARE PARTICULARLY SUSCEPTIBLE TO HEAT
REACTIONS... ESPECIALLY DURING HEAT WAVES IN AREAS WHERE
EXCESSIVE HEAT IS RARE.
THE FOLLOWING HEAT WAVE SAFETY TIPS ARE RECOMMENDED:
1. SLOW DOWN. STRENUOUS ACTIVITIES SHOULD BE REDUCED...
ELIMINATED OR RESCHEDULED TO THE COOLEST TIME OF THE DAY.
2. DRESS IN LIGHTWEIGHT LIGHT-COLORED CLOTHING TO REFLECT
HEAT AND SUNLIGHT.
3. DRINK PLENTY OF WATER OR OTHER NON-ALCOHOLIC FLUIDS.
DRINKING ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES SHOULD BE AVOIDED.
4. DO NOT TAKE SALT TABLETS UNLESS DIRECTED TO BY A PHYSICIAN.
5. SPEND MORE TIME IN AIR-CONDITIONED PLACES.
6. AVOID PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO THE SUN.
7. NEVER LEAVE ANY PERSON OR PET IN A CLOSED...PARKED VEHICLE.
AN EXCESSIVE HEAT EVENTS GUIDEBOOK...DEVELOPED BY THE EPA IN
2006 IN COLLABORATION WITH THE NWS...CDC...AND DHS...PROVIDES
GUIDANCE THAT COMMUNITIES CAN USE TO DEVELOP MITIGATION PLANS.
THIS GUIDEBOOK IS AVAILABLE ONLINE AT /USE LOWERCASE/:

STATISTICS...AND INSIGHT TO THE SCIENCE AND MEDICAL ASPECTS
OF LIGHTNING AND LIGHTNING INJURIES. THE SITE ALSO
PROVIDES OUTREACH MATERIALS...INCLUDING POSTERS AND PUBLIC
SAFETY ANNOUNCEMENTS...TO ASSIST WITH LIGHTNING SAFETY
AWARENESS EFFORTS.
SOME LIGHTNING SAFETY TIPS:
1. KNOW THE WEATHER FORECAST BEFORE YOU HEAD OUTDOORS...
ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SAFETY OF OTHERS.
A PORTABLE NOAA WEATHER RADIO IS A GREAT WAY TO MONITOR THE
LATEST FORECASTS AND WARNINGS WHILE OUTDOORS. OUR PARTNERS
IN THE PRIVATE METEOROLOGICAL SECTOR CAN PROVIDE CUSTOMIZED
WEATHER INFORMATION...ALERTS...WEATHER RADAR...AND
COMMUNICATION SERVICES.
2. WHEN OUTDOORS...KEEP AN EYE ON THE SKY. LOOK FOR
DARKENING CLOUDS...FLASHES OF LIGHTNING OR INCREASING
WIND...WHICH MAY BE SIGNS OF AN APPROACHING THUNDERSTORM.
GET TO A SAFE SHELTER IMMEDIATELY IF YOU HEAR THUNDER. IF A
COMPLETELY ENCLOSED BUILDING IS NOT NEARBY...GET INSIDE A
HARD-TOPPED ALL-METAL VEHICLE. REMAIN IN SAFE SHELTER FOR
30 MINUTES AFTER THE LAST CLAP OF THUNDER.
3. PLACES TO AVOID SEEKING SHELTER DURING THUNDERSTORMS
INCLUDE: BENEATH OR CLOSE TO TREES...SHEDS...CARPORTS...
OPEN GARAGES...DUGOUTS...COVERED PATIOS...PICNIC SHELTERS
...BLEACHERS...BEACHES AND OPEN FIELDS. ALSO STAY AWAY
FROM CLOTHES LINES...FENCES...AND ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE
OBJECTS.
4. GET OUT OF THE WATER. IT IS A GREAT CONDUCTOR OF
ELECTRICITY. GET OUT OF SMALL BOATS AND CANOES...AND STAY
AWAY FROM POOLS AND LAKES. LIGHTNING CAN STRIKE THE WATER
AND TRAVEL SOME DISTANCE FROM ITS POINT OF CONTACT.
5. IN ADDITION TO DIRECT STRIKES...LIGHTNING GENERATES
ELECTRICAL SURGES THAT CAN DAMAGE ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT SOME
DISTANCE FROM THE ACTUAL STRIKE. TYPICAL SURGE PROTECTORS
WILL NOT PROTECT EQUIPMENT FROM A LIGHTNING STRIKE. TO THE
EXTENT POSSIBLE...UNPLUG ANY APPLIANCES OR ELECTRONIC
EQUIPMENT FROM ALL CONDUCTORS WELL BEFORE A THUNDERSTORM
THREATENS. DO NOT WAIT TO UNPLUG EQUIPMENT UNTIL DURING A
THUNDERSTORM AS THERE IS A RISK YOU COULD BE STRUCK.
6. LIGHTNING VICTIMS DO NOT CARRY AN ELECTRICAL
CHARGE...ARE SAFE TO TOUCH...AND NEED URGENT MEDICAL
ATTENTION. CARDIAC ARREST IS THE IMMEDIATE CAUSE OF DEATH
FOR THOSE WHO DIE. SOME DEATHS CAN BE PREVENTED IF THE
VICTIM RECEIVES THE PROPER FIRST AID IMMEDIATELY.
CALL 9-1-1 IMMEDIATELY AND PERFORM CPR IF THE PERSON IS
UNRESPONSIVE OR NOT BREATHING.
REMEMBER...WHEN THUNDER ROARS...GO INDOORS.
