With thunderstorms and accompanying lightning dancing through our desert, you need to protect your electrical equipment. Managing Editor Tami Roleff offers these suggestions…
Lightning strikes are one of the major sources of external power surges that can severely damage electronic equipment and cause fires–both of which can be dangerous and are a huge disruption to a family or business. For lightning protection, a whole-house/building surge protector is the best starting point for reducing the risk of damage. In addition, use ssurge protectors for electronic equipment and any telephone and cable/satellite TV lines connecting to the equipment. These devices are available at most home improvement and electronics stores. For more information on how to reduce the risk of lightning damaging your home or business, visit www.DisasterSafety.org.
