Question

Many people like travelling in mountains now. But what can we do if there is a sudden rain or even a storm? We need to be prepared and keep ourselves safe.

Put on any gear (护具) that you’ve brought

All hikers should carry lightweight rain gear or at least a raincoat in case of rain.

Keep your body moving

Move around as you wait so that your body stays warm. For example, step side to side.

Find a shelter

Look around for a place to get out of the rain, such as a tree, a cave even your tent. If you hear thunder, find an immediate shelter. Staying outside during a thunder storm is dangerous.

Watch for changes in the terrain (地形)

Rain can cause flooding, mud slides, rock slides and slippery trails (湿滑的山道), all of which can be very dangerous.

If you are in a lightning storm, the most dangerous places include open areas, hills, mountains, trees and waterways. Lightning is most likely to hit these areas. If you’re in the woods, try to find a small tree that is surrounded (环绕) by other taller trees. Hide yourself in the lowest place you can find.

Put down your trekking poles (登山杆) or other long things. In a lightning storm, trekking poles and long, pointy things make a great conductor for the lightning and are therefore very dangerous. Protect yourself by laying these items on the ground away from you.
