Inclement weather plan – Summer Sports Camps-The Family YMCA 2024

Purpose
The purpose of this plan is to provide guidelines for managing inclement weather events.
The plan covers rain and thunderstorm events.

Scope and Risk
This plan addresses four types of inclement weather which could affect Los Alamos county in the summer. The plan will also address the possibilities of smoke from wildfires. 

●    Rain
●    Hail
●    Lightning (Thunderstorms)
●    High Winds

Risk
The effects of the above-mentioned types of inclement weather are listed below.
Rain will make tennis courts extra slippery and this poses a liability for tennis players. It can take up to one hour for tennis courts to become completely dry and safe to play on again.
Hail can injure players and make courts extra slippery and this poses a liability for tennis players.
In case of heavy rain and hail, the County of Los Alamos, who are the owners of the fields (and courts) we are using, prohibits us from using said fields due to the slippery conditions and the risk of destroying the grass while running on it wet.
Thunderstorms contain multiple dangers that can threaten the safety of players. Lightning often strikes outside of the rain area to as much as 10 miles (even greater distances in exceptional situations).

Actions
●    If a severe weather warning is issued, all outdoor activities are canceled during the warned timeline.
●    If thunder is heard, all activities are canceled until 30 minutes after the last time thunder is heard. Campers and coaches can not consider carports, open garages, covered patios, or pavilions as adequate shelter. When lightning is in your vicinity, go quickly inside a completely closed building. If no closed building is convenient, get inside a hard-topped all-metal vehicle. Coaches are not allowed to shelter campers in their cars due to child safety protocols. Do not take shelter under a tree, especially if it is tall and isolated. If players can’t safely shelter, parents need to pick their kids up immediately. 
●    If it is raining lightly when camp has started or is about to start, wait for 30 mins to see if rain will stop. During this time, coaches are in charge of the children, and will keep them busy with sport appropriate activities until rain has stopped and it is safe to continue to play.
●    If it is raining heavily when camp has started or is about to start, please wait for 30 mins to see if rain will stop. During this time, coaches are in charge of the children, and will keep them busy with sport appropriate activities until rain has stopped and it is safe to continue to play. If rain doesn’t stop after 30 - 45 mins, all activities will be canceled for the rest of the day.
●    If there is light hail when camp has started or is about to start, wait for 30 mins to see if hail will stop. During this time, coaches are in charge of the children, and will keep them busy with sport appropriate activities until hail has stopped and it is safe to continue to play.
●    If there is heavy hail when camp has started or is about to start, please wait for 30 mins to see if hail will stop. During this time, coaches are in charge of the children, and will keep them busy with sport appropriate activities until hail has stopped and it is safe to continue to play. If hail doesn’t stop after 30 - 45 mins, all activities will be canceled for the rest of the day.
