Dear campus community,
This week is Lightning Safety Awareness Week! The primary purpose of this
week is to raise awareness about the dangers posed by lightning, as it is
often underestimated as a potential threat. Thankfully, due to increased
awareness, lightning-related fatalities in the United States have
significantly declined from approximately 55 per year to less than 30. This
reduction in lightning fatalities can be attributed to the growing
understanding of lightning hazards and individuals taking necessary
precautions when thunderstorms are imminent.

As part of Lightning Safety Awareness Week, we encourage you to take the
opportunity to educate yourself about lightning and the measures you can
take to stay safe. Click here
