BEFORE THE STORM
-
Visit the St. Lucia Meteorological Office at http://www.slumet.gov.lc and listen to radio and television broadcasts to stay informed about weather forecasts and reports for your area.
-
Have flashlights, battery-powered radios and extra fresh batteries available in the event of power outages.
-
Unplug all electrical appliances and equipment in the event of a thunderstorm. Lightning can produce high voltages on electrical networks that can damage equipment. Turn off and unplug as many appliances as possible that require electricity. It is not sufficient to just switch them off.
