The summer is coming,and the storms are often. They happen often,but some people don't take them seriously. In fact,they’re very dangerous for people and they even can make people die at once.

So how do we keep safe I during a lightning storm?

If you are indoors,stay away from windows and doors during a lightning storm. Don’t take a shower or do some dishes,because lightning can travel through water. Turn off the TV and computer. My computer was once broken. Never use telephone. Lightning could travel through the phone line and hit you.

If you are outdoors during a lightning storm,never take shelter (避雨) under a tree,because the lightning could hit the tree and travel through the tree to hit you. Stay away from anything that is metal. Try to get in your car and close all the windows or go into a nearby building right away. If there's no building around,try to find a low place to stay in. Squat (蹲下) down near the ground and put your hands over your ears. Never use a cell phone.

() 2. Don’t take a shower or do some dishes during a lightning storm.

() 3. Lightning could travel through the phone line and hit you.

Emergencies (紧急情况) don't happen very often. But when they do,you want to get help first. No one wants to spend time looking up the phone numbers.

In 1968,the Untied States government wanted one number that people could call for emergencies. They decided that 911 was easy to remember and people could dial it quickly. The very first 911 call was made on February 16 ,1968 in Alabama. Today,911 is used for emergencies in most parts of the United States and many parts of Canada.

Other countries may use other numbers. In Great Britain,it's 999. If you’re not sure which emergency number is used in your area,check your phone book. 

When to call 

Never call 911 as a joke or just to see what might happen. The only time you should call 911 is when a person is badly hurt in danger right now!So call when there is a fire,a car accident,or sudden sickness,etc. 

When in an emergency call

 When you dial the 911 operator (接线员) ，it's always OK to give out your information. Speak slowly and dearly when you explain what's happening. What happened? Where are you? Who needs help?

Don’t hang up (挂断) ！

If you have to call 911,do not hang up until the operator tells you it's OK to do so. That way,you can be sure that the operator has all the information to offer help fast.
