BACHELOR OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

Detailed explanation-1: -Can I use a Desktop Computer during a storm? Unless you have very good surge protection equipment you should turn off and disconnect your Desktop PC from power, LAN and phone lines during a storm. Even with surge protectors it is still possible that your computer may be damaged.

Detailed explanation-2: -During a storm, you may use a laptop or tablet inside as long as the device is not plugged into a wall outlet. Make sure you save any files you are using before the battery is depleted. Also, stay away from windows and doors while using your laptop or tablet to avoid static electricity damage and lightning strikes.

Detailed explanation-3: -A simple surge protector can do wonders. It’ll protect your computer equipment from most thunderstorms, as well as common power fluctuations that occur with rain or wind. Just be sure you’re getting a surge protector and not just a power strip (which just provides extra outlets).

Detailed explanation-4: -Avoid using electronic equipment of all types. Do NOT use anything connected to an electrical outlet, such as computers, laptops, game systems, washers, dryers, or stoves. Lightning can travel through electrical systems and radio and television reception systems. Avoid using corded phones.
