1 I. LIGHTNING POLICY Lightning is an unpredictable and dangerous occurrence. All athletic teams holding practices and competitions outdoors are at risk during inclement weather. The UCA Athletic Training Staff has implemented a lightning safety policy to minimize the risk of injury to student-athletes, coaches, staff and spectators. Millions of lightning flashes strike the ground annually in the United States, causing nearly 100 deaths and 400 injuries. (NATA Position Statement: Lightning Safety, 2000). The majority of these lightning casualties occur between May and September and between 10am and 7pm, coinciding with common hours of athletic participation 1. Because of this danger, compliance with this policy is mandatory for the safety of all UCA student-athletes and members of the coaching staff. In accordance with the NCAA and Southland Conference, the UCA athletic designee for the sport (athletic trainer, administrator, coach) will monitor lightning using the Hear-See method and/or the DTN Weather Detection System. According to the Southland Conference Operating Code each institution shall develop and adopt an official policy regarding the threat of, and appearance, of lightning. This policy shall be available to the other member institutions for inspection and posted at the competition site or communicated to the visiting team's athletic trainer or head coach upon arrival. The policy shall also be communicated to the officials assigned to work the contest. An institution that removes its team from the field of play because a standard lightning device denotes presence of lighting will not be penalized. General Policy: The suspension of activity may be supplemented by local weather reports. When in doubt of the severity or proximity of lightning or severe weather, suspend activity. Upon suspension of athletic activities, all University personnel and student-athletes should proceed immediately to a designated safe area. Chain of Command and Suspension of Activity Athletic Practice: 1. A member of the Athletic Training Staff will monitor inclement weather and make a decision (in consultation with the head coach) to suspend practice in the event of lightning. 2. In the absence of an Athletic Training Staff member, the responsibility for monitoring severe weather will fall upon the head coach of that sport or his/her designee (i.e. Golf, Cross-Country, and Tennis). 3. The monitoring of severe weather at an athletic practice lies with all members of the coaching staff and athletic training staff present. Athletic Competition: 1. The decision to suspend/terminate an athletic competition will be made by a member of the UCA Athletic Training Staff in consultation with a UCA Athletics Administrator on site, the head coach, and game officials. 2. The responsibility of monitoring lightning and severe weather at an athletic competition lies with the Athletic Administrator on site and the member of the UCA Athletic Training staff present at the competition. Suspension of Activity: 1. The decision to suspend any activity will be based upon: a. A single lightning strike detected in a six (6) mile radius of the UCA campus as reported by the DTN Weather Detection System, and/or b. Utilization of the Hear-See method. (Experts now suggest that if you Hear thunder begin preparation for evacuation; if you See lightning, consider suspending activities and heading for your designated safe locations.) i. At a minimum it is recommended that by the time the monitor observes a count of 30 seconds between seeing the lighting flash and hearing its associated thunder, all individuals should have left the athletics site and reached a safer structure or location. 1 Note- Every 5 seconds equals 1mile, therefore 30 seconds would mean the storm is six (6) miles away. 1
2 Prior to Competition: A member of the Athletic Training Staff will greet the officials, explain we have a means to monitor lightning, and offer to notify them during the game if there is imminent danger from lightning/severe weather. Script to Officials / Visiting Athletic Teams for Notification of Lightning Policy: Hello, my name is. I am a member of the UCA Athletic Training Staff. I would like to speak with you regarding our lightning safety procedures. On site we have a lightning detection system that I will use to monitor lightning. In accordance with NCAA recommendations and per UCA's lightning policy, when the lightning detection system reveals a single strike within the 6 mile radius of campus AND/OR a positive finding using the Hear- See method, we strongly recommend suspending activity until the danger of a lightning strike has passed. We have a communication system to inform all participants and spectators. Announcement of Suspension of Activity: Once it has been determined there is danger of a lightning strike, the Athletic Training Staff member will notify the head coach and/or official and the athletes will be summoned from the playing surface. a) During Competition: once the game official signals to suspend activity, a member of the Sports Information Staff will announce via the PA system the following message and direct them to one of the SAFE AREAS listed below: Script for public announcement by Sports Information Personnel: "May I have your attention, please! We have been notified of approaching inclement weather. Activity will cease until we have determined it is safe and the risk of lightning is diminished. We advise you to seek enclosed shelter." Designated SAFE AREAS for each Sport: (Competitions and Practice) Football Athletes and staff evacuate to their respective home and visiting Estes Stadium locker rooms. Spectators evacuate to the Farris Center or their vehicles Baseball UCA Athletes and staff evacuate to the baseball house Visiting Team evacuate to the Farris Center or their designated vehicles. Spectators evacuate to the Farris Center Softball UCA athletes and staff evacuate to the softball house. Spectators and visiting teams evacuate to the Brewer-Hegemen Conference Center, HPER Center, Student Center, or Farris Center. Soccer UCA athletes and staff evacuate to soccer house(s). Spectators and visiting teams evacuate to the Brewer-Hegemen Conference Center, HPER Center, Student Center, or Farris Center. Tennis UCA athletes, staff, spectators, and visiting teams evacuate to the Brewer-Hegemen Conference Center, HPER Center, Student Center, or Farris Center. Golf All athletes, staff and spectators evacuate to the clubhouse, nearest secure shelter or a short group of trees. (GOLFERS SHOULD DROP THEIR CLUBS). Individuals should not stand in groups or near a single tree. There should be 15 feet between individuals. If possible seek shelter near a group of smaller trees.) Track & Field UCA athletes, staff, spectators, and visiting teams evacuate to the Brewer-Hegemen Conference Center, HPER Center, Student Center, or Farris Center. Cross-Country Athletes, staff and spectators evacuate to nearest grounded shelter, dry ditch, or small group of trees. *Visiting Teams and spectators at competitions will be directed by UCA Athletic Administration as to the most appropriate available safe area at the time of the event. 2
3 Using Vehicles as Safe Shelter A hard topped automobile may be used for shelter if other areas are inaccessible. If you stay in your vehicle, DO NOT open the door or allow anyone to touch the sides of the vehicle as it dissipates the lightning strike around it. An automobile is not as safe as a secure building but it provides more protection than being unsheltered. Evacuation of the Playing Field: Immediately following the announcement of activity suspension, all studentathletes, coaches, officials, and support personnel are to evacuate to an enclosed grounded structure. Shelter should be sought in one of the previously mentioned safe structures. If no Safe Area is available: 3 1. Find a thick of small trees surrounded by taller tress, or a dry ditch. 2. Stay away from the tallest trees or objects (light poles, flag poles, etc), any metal objects (bleachers, storage sheds, fences), individual trees, standing pools of water, and open fields. 3. Assume a crouched position on the ground with only the balls of your feet in contact with the ground, head lowered, and cover your ears. 4. DO NOT LIE FLAT! Doing so will provide more of a contact area with the ground since lightning travels on the ground. Get as low as you can making as little contact with the ground as possible. 5. A person who feels his/her hair stand on end or skin tingle should immediately assume the position. 6. If there is no other shelter, you may seek refuge in a hardtop vehicle. It is not the rubber tires that protect from lightning; it is the hardtop metal roof that dissipates the lightning around the vehicle. (NCAA, 2007) 1 ADDITIONAL LIGHTNING SAFETY TIPS 1. The existence of blue skies and/or absence of rain are not protection from lightning. Lightning can strike 10 miles away from the rain shaft (NCAA, 2007) 1 2. Avoid using a landline telephone. 3. Persons who have been struck by lightning do not carry an electrical charge. You can provide care. Move the victim to a safe location to provide care. 4. If in a forest, seek shelter in a low area under a thick grove of small trees. Obligation to Warn: 1. According to a basic principle of tort law 3, an individual has a duty to warn others of dangers that may not be obvious to a guest of that person. 2. A public address message shall be given warning spectators of UCA athletic events if lightning activity becomes an imminent danger in the immediate area. An example of such message is previously mention under the Script for public announcement by Sports Information Personnel 3. Lightning safety information and tips should be published in game programs and media guides of all outdoor athletic events. Resumption of Activity: Activity may resume once a member of the UCA Athletic Administration or Athletic Training Staff gives permission. In the absence of such a member, resumption of activity will be the responsibility of the head coach/designee of the sport. This decision will be based on: 1. An All-Clear text message/notification from the DTN Weather Detection System AND/OR 2. Thirty (30) minutes AFTER the last lightning strike or last sound of thunder. (If lightning is seen w/o hearing thunder, lightning may be out of range and therefore less likely to be a significant threat). 3
4 Video and Support Personnel Video and support personnel performing duties for sports practices, games or other UCA athletic sponsored events will be held to the same requirements and procedures as the student-athletes, coaches and spectators. Personnel videoing events on towers, scissor lifts, etc. will be required to cease any activity immediately and get to a safe location in the event of inclement weather. The UCA staff person in charge of monitoring weather at the event will be responsible for notifying video and support personnel of any impending inclement weather so that appropriate and timely action can be taken to seek shelter. PRE-HOSPITAL CARE OF LIGHTNING STRIKE VICTIMS 3 In case of a lightning strike to a UCA student-athlete, member of the athletic staff, spectators, or a visitor to campus, the following procedures are to be followed: 1. Activate the UCA Athletic Training Emergency Action Plan for that venue. 2. Activate the local emergency system by calling the UCA Police Department at or call Lightning strike victims DO NOT carry an electrical charge and are safe to assess: a. Survey the scene (Is it safe for you?) victim findings (unconscious, fixed/dilated pupils, cold extremities, cardiopulmonary arrest) b. Move the victim to a safe area as needed. DO NOT provide care for a victim in an unsafe location if lightning or severe weather continues. c. Assess the victim and administer appropriate emergency treatment, including but not limited to: i. Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) ii. Used of the Automated External Defibrillator (AED) iii. Care for shock iv. Care for hypothermia v. Care for burns vi. Care for any other injuries 4. Communicate with EMS personnel on the condition of the victim. 5. Notify the head athletic trainer immediately following the incident. 4
5 Athletic Training Staff and Athletic Administrator monitors weather Lightning strike (within six miles) / Severe Weather Imminent danger detected Signal officials or coach to suspend activity Announcement to fans Seek appropriate shelter Evacuate players, coaches, officials and support staff Evacuate spectators Athletic Training Staff and Athletic Administrators monitors lightning If criteria met, resume activity If danger remains, suspend or cancel activity 5
6 II. TORNADOES 2 A tornado is a violent windstorm characterized by a twisting, funnel-shaped cone. It is originated from a thunderstorm/hurricane, and is produced as cool air overrides a layer of warm air, for the warm air to rise rapidly. Tornado season is normally March through August, although they can occur at any time of the year. They tend to occur most in the afternoons and evenings. Tornadoes strike with incredible velocity, with speeds up to 300 miles per hour. Their destructive power is immense. Typically, a tornado will stay on the ground for no more than 20 minutes. However, one tornado can touch ground several times in different areas. Tornado Watch A tornado watch means that conditions are favorable for a tornado to occur. Be aware/alert of the current weather situation in the area and do the following: 1. Review the actions that should take place should a tornado watch develop, or if a tornado funnel is sited. 2. Ensure no physical restrictions exist that would prevent free movement to your nearest safe area (clear any blocked doors, aisles, etc.) 3. Continue normal activities, but be alert to the weather outside, and monitor the radio/television or watch the sky for worsening weather conditions. 4. DO NOT phone the UCA police or the campus operator for information. Keep the telephone lines clear for emergency messages. Tornado Warning A tornado warning means that a tornado has been sighted. You should do the following: 1. Take cover! a. Proceed to the nearest safe area/shelter b. Because of possible electrical failures, use the stairs, not the elevator. c. Remain clear of windows or other glass. d. Avoid auditoriums and gymnasiums with large poorly supported roofs. 2. In multi-story buildings, you should move to the basement or first floor. Inner hallways are usually safe areas. If possible, move to the ground level. If you are in a frame or sheet metal building and weather conditions permit, move to a brick or stone building for added protection. References: 1.
