I. Department of Athletics Severe Weather Policy Severe Weather, Lightning, and Tornado Safety for Department of Athletics Events A. Introduction This Severe Weather Policy and its accompanying facility-specific guidelines are intended to help address the various threats severe weather may present to athletics-related activities on the campus of The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill ( University or UNC-CH ). The nature of these threats often varies considerably, however, and individuals should always use their best judgment in determining appropriate courses of action. Because of severe weather s inherently unpredictable nature, no structure or precaution can ever be completely guaranteed to provide safety. These provisions, though, are intended to minimize risks of this kind by offering guidelines for Safety Supervisors and others who may have to make decisions in instances of threatening weather. This Policy and the facility-specific guidelines are not intended to be comprehensive or definitive directions on proper measures to take in these situations. Rather, they should serve as a frame of reference intended to specify precautions that are likely to be appropriate. As always, common sense and good judgment by all involved are crucial to ensuring safety. B. Definitions For purposes of this Policy and the accompanying facility-specific guidelines, the terms below shall have these respective ascribed meanings: 1. Field, Floor, Court, Pool, and Deck Personnel shall mean those individuals with authorized access to the competition surface during intercollegiate competition (including, but not necessarily limited to: student-athletes, coaches, trainers, team-related staff, and official UNC Athletics personnel). 2. Safe Structure shall mean a facility which may provide additional protection from severe weather. While the structures referenced have been identified as reasonable facilities in which to seek refuge from severe weather, no structure can ever be fully guaranteed to provide safety. Even when specific Safe Structures are referenced, individuals should use their best judgment to determine the most appropriate options which provide the best protection from severe weather. 3. Safety Supervisor shall mean an individual responsible for monitoring the presence of severe weather and addressing matters of weather safety. C. An Individual s Right to Leave a Situation in which He or She Does Not Feel Safe Any student-athlete, coach, or UNC Athletics staff member may leave a situation at any time if he or she feels weather or other circumstances pose a safety threat. Any individual who chooses to remove himself or herself from a particular situation for this purpose shall be free to do so without fear of repercussion, penalty, or retaliation. D. Role of the Safety Supervisors Each official team-related athletic activity of the University s varsity sports programs shall have a designated Safety Supervisor. In most cases of intercollegiate competition, the Senior Associate Athletic Director for Operations or his/her designee (typically, a member of the Game Operations staff) will be the Safety Supervisor. When the Senior Associate Athletic Director or his or her designee is not present in a formal capacity and assuming such a role, the team s designated athletic trainer shall be the Safety Supervisor. In instances when neither the Senior Associate Athletic Director (or his/her designee) or the respective team s designated athletic trainer is present in a formal capacity and assuming the role of Safety Supervisor, the sport s head coach or another designated coaching staff member shall assume the role of Safety Supervisor. It shall be the responsibility of the team s designated athletic trainer or his/her designee {00068403.DOCX} 8

to ensure the appropriate parties know who will assume the role of Safety Supervisor at each competition, practice, or other team-related athletic activity. Weather conditions have the potential to change quickly; therefore, it is the responsibility of each Safety Supervisor to monitor the conditions on an ongoing basis and take appropriate steps to protect the safety of student-athletes and UNC Athletics personnel. 1. Varsity Practice and/or Other Official Non-Competition, Team-Related Athletic Activity Generally, the Safety Supervisor should communicate weather-related alerts to the head coach when they are received. When a tornado warning is issued or lightning comes within a distance specified for the particular facility in the sections below, the Safety Supervisor should instruct the coach to suspend the practice or other team-related athletic activity and have everyone relocate to a Safe Structure. Notwithstanding any provisions herein, the Safety Supervisor shall have the authority to delay or suspend any practice or other non-competition, team-related athletic activity if he or she believes that weather conditions make it unsafe to continue. 2. Intercollegiate Competition In most cases of intercollegiate competition, the Senior Associate Athletic Director for Operations or his or her designee (usually a UNC Game Operations staff member) shall be the Safety Supervisor and have the responsibility to cancel, delay, or allow the start of competition. If the Senior Associate Athletic Director for Operations or his/her designee is not present in a formal capacity, the team s designated athletic trainer will assume the role of Safety Supervisor and have the responsibility to cancel, delay, or allow the start of competition. Once competition has begun, assigned officials from the NCAA, ACC, or other entity typically have the discretion to stop, restart, or cancel competition. In these instances, the Safety Supervisor shall provide information as appropriate to assist in their decision. If competition is delayed or cancelled, the Safety Supervisor shall have the responsibility of ensuring the information is communicated to the opposing head coach, game officials, media entities, and other individuals who may be appropriate. Authority to delay or relocate competition in the same city is typically vested in the home team s Director of Athletics or designated senior-level administrator. Authority to cancel, postpone, or terminate conference competition is vested only in the ACC Commissioner or his/her designee. Coaching staffs shall immediately follow the instructions of the Safety Supervisor and/or appropriate official and are expected to suspend any practice, competition, or other team-related athletic activity when weather poses a threat. Safety Supervisors should be in possession of the key(s) and/or access code(s) to the appropriate Safe Structure(s) so that they may provide access when inclement weather is present. E. Accuweather and Alert Carolina The University subscribes to Accuweather. Each Safety Supervisor shall either receive alerts from Accuweather via text messages to his or her cell phone or have access to an alphanumeric pager which will receive alerts from Accuweather. All members of the Sports Medicine Staff and every Safety Supervisor shall also be required to register his or her cell phone numbers annually with Alert Carolina. From time to time, the Head Athletic Trainer will provide Safety Supervisors with training regarding these alert mechanisms, this Policy, and the accompanying guidelines. 1. In the Event There is not a Functional Accuweather Pager or Cell Phone Registered with Accuweather {00068403.DOCX} 9

If the weather becomes a concern during an event or practice and the Safety Supervisor does not have an alphanumeric pager or cell phone specifically registered with Accuweather, the Safety Supervisor should use another phone and call the Stallings-Evans Sports Medicine Center (919-962-2067), Scott Oliaro (919-428-3582), or Nicole Fava (919-428-3574) for weather information. F. Lightning Lightning is the most consistent and significant weather hazard that may affect the University s athletics events or activities. 1. Accuweather Lightning Warnings The longitude and latitude of Kenan Stadium is the target point to establish the various perimeter alerts or warnings used in the communications from Accuweather. When there is lightning within the vicinity of the UNC-CH campus, Accuweather will send a page to the Safety Supervisors alphanumeric pagers and a text to the registered cell phones to provide specific information. Accuweather will send an initial advisory notification when lightning is projected to come within fifteen miles of campus. This initial advisory notification will occur approximately twenty minutes before the lightning is projected to come within fifteen (15) miles. This lead time is designed to provide sufficient opportunity for individuals far from a Safe Structure to relocate appropriately. If the lightning continues to approach the campus, subsequent warnings will be issued when the lightning is within ten (10) miles. An additional warning will be issued when there is a lightning strike within eight (8) miles of the target point. Accuweather will issue a cancellation alert when the threat of lightning has passed, at which time games, practices, or other team-related athletic activities may resume. 2. Flash-to-Bang Method The Flash-to-Bang Method should be used only in situations when Accuweather information or a commercial lightning detector is unavailable. While this method is less precise in calculating the distance of severe weather, Safety Supervisors should still be familiar with it in case circumstances require its use. Thunder always accompanies lightning, even though its audible range can be diminished due to background noise in the immediate environment and its distance from the observer. To use the Flash-to-Bang Method, count the seconds from the time the lightning is seen to when the clap of thunder is heard. Divide this number by five to obtain how far away (in miles) the lightning occurred. For example, if an individual counts 15 seconds between seeing the flash of lightning and hearing the bang of thunder, the lightning occurred approximately 3 miles away (15/5=3). 3. General Rule for Lightning for the Safety of Field, Court, Pool, and Deck Personnel As a general rule when lightning is in the area, the responsible Safety Supervisor should notify the head coach and other appropriate individuals when an alert is received indicating lightning may come within a fifteen mile radius of the target point. Upon receiving a subsequent alert that lightning has come within a ten mile radius of the target point, the Safety Supervisor should provide an update with such information to the head coach and other appropriate individuals. When an alert is received indicating lightning is within eight miles of the target point or closer, the Safety Supervisor should instruct all University personnel to relocate to an appropriate Safe Structure if they have not already done so. 4. Exceptions for Finley Golf Course, University Lake, Anderson Softball Complex Intercollegiate Competition, and Boshamer Stadium Intercollegiate Competition Due to the need to place protective tarp on the fields of Anderson Softball Complex and Boshamer Stadium during intercollegiate competition and the relocation needs associated with Finley Golf {00068403.DOCX} 10

Course and University Lake, these four venues have different general rules when lightning is in the area. When an alert is received indicating lightning may come within fifteen (15) miles of the target point during intercollegiate competition at Boshamer Stadium or Anderson Softball Complex, the Safety Supervisor should notify the head coach and other appropriate individuals. When an alert is issued that lightning is within ten (10) miles, the Safety Supervisor should instruct the protective tarp to be put on the field and all University personnel and fans to relocate to an appropriate Safe Structure. When an alert is received that lightning may come within fifteen (15) miles of the target point during varsity practice, intercollegiate competition, or any other team-related athletic activity at Finley Golf Course or University Lake, the Safety Supervisor should instruct all University personnel and fans to relocate to a Safe Structure as quickly as possible. G. Tornado Warnings The warnings and alerts issued by Alert Carolina for tornadoes will supersede any warnings received from Accuweather. Warning sirens will typically be activated if a tornado threat is imminent for any part of campus. In the event of a tornado warning, all student-athletes and UNC Athletics personnel should immediately proceed to a Safe Structure or other safe location. H. Safe Structures Safe locations for lightning and tornadoes differ. When lightning is present, the safest place is indoors and away from electric and water lines. Structural stability is the main requirement of a safe location during a tornado warning. The facility-specific provisions outlined below identify primary Safe Structures available in severe weather. Individuals should be generally aware of other Safe Structures, however, in the event that circumstances necessitate seeking shelter in an alternative Safe Structure for some reason. 1. If Unable to Reach a Safe Structure If individuals are unable to reach a Safe Structure during severe weather, they should try and avoid tall structures, tall trees or other objects (such as light poles or flag poles), individual trees, standing pools of water, and open fields. Additionally, they should avoid being the highest object in a field. Do not take shelter under a single, tall tree. If possible, move to a low-lying area. If in this situation, assume a crouched position with only the balls of the feet touching the ground, wrap the arms around the knees, and lower the head. Minimize contact with the ground, as lightning current often enters a victim through the ground rather than through a direct overhead strike. Do not lie flat. 2. Examples of Locations that are NOT Safe Structures The following list of locations should NOT be considered safe structures in the event of severe weather: baseball/softball dugouts, baseball/softball covered batting cages, convertibles or soft-top vehicles, golf carts or similar vehicles, outside storage sheds, canopies, awnings, and tents. I. Daily Procedures Used by the Head Athletic Trainer and Safety Supervisors The Head Athletic Trainer and Safety Supervisors should abide by the following practices: 1. Each Safety Supervisor will have access to Accuweather alerts and will also be registered with Alert Carolina. {00068403.DOCX} 11

2. The Head Athletic Trainer or his or her designee will evaluate weather conditions on a daily basis. For morning varsity athletic activities, the review of the next day s weather forecast will be completed the night before and again prior to the start of the scheduled activity. For afternoon varsity athletic activities, this review will take place at the start of the business day and again prior to the start of the scheduled activity. 3. The Head Athletic Trainer or his or her designee will notify the Safety Supervisors of the daily forecast and specify any relevant weather advisories, watches, and/or warnings. If there is a threat of severe weather, the Head Athletic Trainer or his or her designee may also remind the Safety Supervisors of the appropriate procedures. Any notifications given by the Head Athletic Trainer or his or her designee may also include the severe weather s nature and projected time of arrival. 4. Each Safety Supervisor shall monitor the daily weather forecast using information received from the Head Athletic Trainer or his or her designee. Safety Supervisors should be particularly cognizant of any advisories, watches, and/or warnings. If a threat of severe weather exists, the Safety Supervisor may call the Stallings-Evans Sports Medicine Center (919-962-2067) to receive an update before leaving for that particular practice, competition, or other team-related athletic activity. In addition, Safety Supervisors should ensure functionality of their pagers and/or cell phones and that they are in possession of the key(s) which provide access to the appropriate Safe Structure(s). 5. Each respective Safety Supervisor should inform the proper head coach(es) of any potential severe weather for that specific day. If severe weather is forecast or present, the Safety Supervisor should also remind the appropriate head coach(es) of proper safety procedures. 6. The Safety Supervisor will be the final authority on any weather-related decision to suspend or cancel practice or any other non-competition, sport-specific activity. Studentathletes, coaches, and other UNC Athletics personnel are expected to comply with any such decision and the appropriate procedures immediately upon determination by the Safety Supervisor. In the case of intercollegiate competition, student-athletes, coaches, and other UNC Athletics personnel shall be expected to comply with any decision rendered pursuant to Section d.2., above, and follow applicable procedures for the protection of individuals from severe weather. 7. Any time a Safety Supervisor encounters difficulty of any kind with a weather-related situation, he or she should notify Paul Pogge, Associate Director of Athletics, who may be reached at ppogge@unc.edu or 919-843-7690. {00068403.DOCX} 12

Facility-Specific Severe Weather Guidelines These facility-specific plans should be followed in cases of severe weather; however, there may be particular circumstances where it is appropriate or necessary for Safety Supervisors to take actions other than what is included in these facility plans to best protect the safety of individuals. Safety Supervisors should always use their best judgment to make decisions that place safety as the foremost priority. A. ANDERSON SOFTBALL COMPLEX- INTERCOLLEGIATE COMPETITION...14 B.
