Lightning Safety Cards: 30-30 Rule
Be sure your sport association has a lightning safety policy and that everyone knows the 30-30 rule.
- When you can count 30 seconds or less between lightning and thunder, head for safe shelter
- Remain sheltered for 30 minutes after the last clap of thunder.
To help you recall this important rule of thumb, Environment Canada and SIRC are providing wallet-sized business cards with the 30-30 rule on them along with some lightning safety tips.
