Be prepared in case of a hail storm
People should be more aware of what’s going on outside and check the weather forecast.
Never make a run for the car if you’re stuck in a building during hail. When the ice pellets fall down, they could do a lot of damage in a short amount of time. What is worse, if a hail storm contains winds and rain, it can knock down power lines and leave your electrical appliances unprotected.
Simple precautions to prevent damage or personal injury
- Your first priority is to keep your family safe. If you have to go outside, wear proper shoes and gloves. Never use rain-soaked electrical equipment and watch out for electrical wires, broken glass, and sharp objects.
- If you need to drive, do it with extreme caution. Storm damage can vary greatly from place to place. Be careful with fallen trees, but especially be attentive for debris or power lines.
- Safeguard your home and vehicle against further damage. Use tarps to reduce the exposure to water wherever possible and protect any personal belongings that may be at risk
Protect your electrical devices from storms
Leave them unplugged and acquire suppressors of voltage spikes and UPS.
Make sure that the house has a connection to the ground. In this way, energy can be transmitted to the earth and not to electronic devices.
Install voltage surge suppressors and UPS for electronic equipment such as computers, televisions and video game consoles. Surge suppressors can be installed in homes, businesses, and buildings to achieve greater protection. UPSs are devices that prevent computers from shutting down suddenly and help keep computers turned on for several minutes. This allows the user to turn them off properly and protect the information in the event of a power outage.
