Review 72, 24, and 2 hours before the event. Brief all crew on weather action thresholds. Identify shelter locations for all attendees. The event safety officer has final authority on weather calls.
A weather risk assessment and preparedness checklist for outdoor event organisers and safety officers. Covers forecast monitoring procedures, wind speed action thresholds for temporary structures, lightning detection and shelter protocol, heat illness prevention plan, rain contingency, ground conditions assessment, and the defined triggers for event suspension or cancellation.
Weather is the most unpredictable risk factor for outdoor events. A sudden wind gust collapses a marquee, a lightning strike endangers thousands in an open field, or extreme heat causes mass casualties from dehydration. This checklist ensures weather risks are monitored, thresholds are defined in advance, and the decision to act is not delayed by indecision.
