- if you hear thunder, call in to base if possible and get an updated forecast and make an exit plan
- err on the side of caution - retreat back to campus if in your judgment the conditions are becoming dangerous. Better to do less fieldwork than have a serious injury.
- if you can't leave your field site, try to stay in safer areas - avoid ridgelines, don't hide under lone trees, and spread out your group. If you are in a forested area don't stand directly under a tree, even if it is raining.
