Inclement weather policy for the SASA Region II Invitational

SASA Soccer Complex Lightning Safety Plan

Lightning Stop: As soon as lightning or thunder are observed all outdoors activity is to be suspended. At SASA, the SkyScan lightning detection system will indicate the high probability of a lightning strike (and the beginning of a Lightning Stop) by sounding a single long blast of its air-horn. People are to seek shelter in a fully enclosed metal vehicle with windows up or in a substantial building. Activities may resume only when the air-horn sounds the all clear with three blasts of the horn. At a location not covered by SkyScan activities may be resumed when lightning or thunder have NOT been observed for thirty minutes.

Additional information is available at the National Weather Service - Lightning Safety web site.

SkyScan Signals:
A single long blast indicates the high probability of a lightning strike and the beginning of a Lightning Stop.
Three shorter blasts indicate "All-clear" and the end of the lightning stop.
Two shorter blasts is a maintenance signal and may be ignored.

Areas considered safe:
a. Inside a fully enclosed metal vehicle with windows up
b. Inside a substantial building (roof and four walls)

Unsafe Areas:
a. Small buildings including picnic shelters & the open area of the concession stand.
b. Anywhere near metallic objects like flagpoles, soccer goals, metal bleachers, and electric equipment.
c. Open fields, trees, and water.
d. Anywhere else not considered safe!

If a strike occurs:
a. Get emergency help promptly by dialing 911.
b. If you are qualified to do so, apply First Aid immediately.
c. People struck by lightning do not carry an electrical charge and are safe to touch.
