If you are in a mobile home or car during severe weather and conditions are right for a tornado, get out of the mobile home or car and find sturdy shelter elsewhere. People struck by lightning carry no electrical charge and can be handled safely. The injured person has received an electrical shock and may be burned. If breathing has stopped, begin rescue breathing. Never camp on low lying areas.
Severe storms can happen quickly and sometimes without warning.
Anne Arundel County residents should get ready for severe storms now, while they have time to prepare. Keep a battery operated portable radio and flashlights, check occasionally for operation. Keep a stock of non-perishable foods in case electrical service is interrupted. Citizens are urged to take a CPR course. Click for a Print friendly window of this page.
