Weather Policies. The Department will determine if fields are playable. Associations will be notified as early as possible if the fields are not playable. Associations are prohibited from field use if the field has been deemed “unplayable.” In the event of inclement weather after the Department’s normal business hours, the Association is responsible for determining field playability. Associations are expected to exercise good judgment in determining if a field is playable, keeping the safety of the players foremost. Associations must adhere to the City’s Severe Weather Policy. For the safety of all, the City of Alpharetta observes the following severe weather procedures for all outdoor programs: Any flash or sound (thunder) which indicates diminishing weather conditions will result in the immediate suspension of any outdoor activities for a safe waiting period of thirty (30) minutes. All participants will be encouraged to seek shelter immediately. Department staff and/or on-site supervisors will monitor conditions during this time. Subsequent flashes or sounds will result in an extended safe waiting period until it is determined by staff or on-site supervisor either that conditions are safe to resume scheduled outdoor activities, or that conditions have deteriorated to the point of canceling the outdoor activities. Associations that do not have their own established Hydration and Heat Guidelines must adhere to the Hydration and Heat Related Guidelines observed by the Department. In summary, outdoor activities must be canceled if the WBGT (Wet Bulb Globe Temperature) is over 92 degrees. Additional guidelines also apply. A copy of the guidelines in their entirety will be provided to Associations. Associations that do not have their own established Cold Weather Policy must adhere to the Cold Weather Policy observed by the Department. The policy is as follows: If the official Alpharetta, GA temperature according to xxx.xxxxxxx.xxx is forecasted to be 30 degrees or lower at the time of the scheduled practice or game, it is recommended that the scheduled event be cancelled. If the temperature reaches 25 degrees, it is mandatory the event be cancelled. The Department may cancel and/or postpone all youth programs and activities whenever Fulton County Schools are closed for inclement weather. If Department cancels programs, Associations shall also cancel programs.
