According to information from the DMC, the coastal, valley and mountain sectors would be affected.
In these cases, Senapred has security measures to be considered by the population at the time of an electrical storm:
- Stay at home. Don’t go out unless absolutely necessary.
- Avoid outdoor activities.
- Do not use metal objects such as fishing rods, canes, among others, since metals are good electrical conductors.
- Avoid proximity to metal bars, fences and electrical and/or telephone lines.
- If you are in open countryside, avoid taking shelter under isolated trees.
- Do not come into contact with swimming pools, rivers, lakes or the sea. Avoid wet areas.
- If you are in a vehicle, stay inside with the engine off, without radio antenna and with windows closed.
- Turn off cell phones, portable radios and GPS devices.
