In case of inclement and/or severe weather during operating hours, the Club will observe the following procedures:
Tornadoes
The Club will listen to a weather scanner for details regarding severe weather. When the sirens sound, all members on Club property must move to the nearest “safe-zone” located within the Club. Safe-zones are illustrated within the tornado drill procedure/map. Severe weather plans are posted on exit walls of each Club room. We ask that parents/guardians do not call the Club in the situation of a tornado. Phone lines need to remain open for emergencies. Members will be released only when an “all clear” signal has been given by weather authorities and/or executive director. Members may be released to those authorized for pick-up during severe weather.
Rain & Thunder
Members may not be outside during rain or thunderstorms. If lightning is spotted, all must come inside or seek shelter if away from Club facilities. Outdoor activities will be suspended for a total of 30 minutes following the last visible lightning strike.
Extreme Cold
Members may be outside with adequate clothing at 35 degrees or higher. If below 35 degrees, all activities will take place in the Club.
Snow
Activities may be conducted in the snow, but only those members wearing proper clothing may participate.
Extreme Heat
The Club will permit members to be outside in extreme heat. Members will be monitored for possible heat related conditions and will be required to drink plenty of water. In weather over 95 degrees, members may only stay outside for a limited time.
