To investigate the thunderstorm activity according to electromagnetic radiation recorded data, it is necessary to create a local network which will be located near the Klyuchevskaya Sopka, Shiveluch and Tolbachik volcanoes. VLF direction finders, electric field sensors, synchronization system, auxiliary equipment will be installed at observation points. Based on the analysis of waveforms and spectral-temporal characteristics, the locations of radiation sources, their belonging to a certain class will be determined. The parameters, by which volcanic lightning differs from ordinary ones, will be determined. Examples of electromagnetic radiation occurring near the Shiveluch volcano are given. The information can be further used to monitor thunderstorm and volcanic activities.**
