MISD Athletic
Safety Severe Weather Conditions
Revised 6-6-2016
This handbook is to provide coaches and administrators guidelines in case of severe
weather conditions. Severe weather and emergency situations may arise at any time
during athletic events. Since weather is unpredictable, you can never give exact
guidelines. Good common sense should also be utilized. Severe weather is defined
as any weather related situation requiring all athletes and spectators to move to safe
shelter. Expedient action must be taken in order to prevent life threatening
conditions. Student safety is a priority over the completion of an athletic event.
Coaches and administrators are advised to review the following guidelines in order to
be prepared should a severe weather situation arise.
Athletic Safety and Compliance Coordinators
William “Hondo” Schneider
Lightning Safety Policy
1.
Establish a chain of command that identifies who is to make the call to remove individuals from the field.
2.
Name a designated weather watcher (A person who actively looks for the signs of threatening weather and notifies the chain of
command if severe weather becomes dangerous).
3.
Have a means of monitoring local weather forecasts and warnings.
4.
Designate a safe shelter for each venue. See examples below.
5.
Use the Flash-to-Bang count to determine when to go to safety. By the time the flash-to-bang count approaches thirty seconds
all individuals should be already inside a safe structure. See method of determining Flash-to-Bang count below.
6.
Once activities have been suspended, wait at least thirty minutes following the last sound of thunder or lightning flash prior to
resuming an activity or returning outdoors.
7.
Avoid being the highest point in an open field, in contact with, or proximity to the highest point, as well as being on the open
water. Do not take shelter under or near trees, flagpoles, or light poles.
8.
Assume that lightning safe position (crouched on the ground weight on the balls of the feet, feet together, head lowered, and
ears covered) for individuals who feel their hair stand on end, skin tingle, or hear "crackling" noises. Do not lie flat on the
ground.
9.
Observe the following basic first aid procedures in managing victims of a lightning strike:
•
Activate local EMS
•
Lightning victims do not "carry a charge" and are safe to touch.
•
If necessary, move the victim with care to a safer location.
•
Evaluate airway, breathing, and circulation, and begin CPR if necessary.
•
Evaluate and treat for hypothermia, shock, fractures, and/or burns.
10. All individuals have the right to leave an athletic site in order to seek a safe structure if the person feels in danger of impending
lightning activity, without fear of repercussions or penalty from anyone.
Safe Shelter:
A safe location is any substantial, frequently inhabited building. The building should have four solid walls (not a dug out), electrical
and telephone wiring, as well as plumbing, all of which aid in grounding a structure.
1.
The secondary choice for a safer location from the lightning hazard is a fully enclosed vehicle with a metal roof and the
windows completely closed. It is important to not touch any part of the metal framework of the vehicle while inside it during
ongoing thunderstorms.
2.
It is not safe to shower, bathe, or talk on landline phones while inside of a safe shelter during thunderstorms (cell phones are
ok).
Flash-to-Bang:
To use the flash-to-bang method, begin counting when sighting a lightning flash. Counting is stopped when the associated bang
(thunder) is heard. Divide this count by five to determine the distance to the lightning flash (in miles). For example, a flash-to-bang
count of thirty seconds equates to a distance of six miles. Lightning has struck from as far away as 10 miles from the storm center.
Suggested Lightning Apps:
Weatherbug
Severe Weather Chain of Command

MISD Cold Weather Guidelines for Outdoor Athletic Practice
The health and safety of our students and staff members is the primary concern of all decisions that is
made in regards to practicing in extreme cold. Head Coaches must use good judgment when making
decisions about practicing outdoors in extremely cold weather. The following guidelines have been
established in order to provide a safe and healthy environment for our students that are participating in
outdoor activities. It is the responsibility of all coaches to ensure these guidelines are being followed.
Please be aware that some athletes may be more susceptible to cold exposure. Some sports are more
active than others. Coaches must take into consideration athletes that are very active during practice
versus those that are standing around. Athletes should be dressed in warm ups with extremities covered.
Gloves and head covers are recommended when applicable.
