Heat Safety Procedure

Adapted from the NYSPHSAA procedures

Administration of Heat Safety Procedures for outdoor physical activity programming:

The "Feels Like" Temperature (FLT), as listed on WeatherBug.com, or measured using a Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WGBT) indicator on the outdoor activity location, shall be checked one hour before the program or camp activity begins by the on-site program or activity lead (e.g. coach) when the air temperature is 80 degrees Fahrenheit or higher, and again at hourly intervals until the field program, camp, or league is completed.

Upon each reading of the FLT or measured WGBT, the on-site program lead will take the appropriate actions in the following chart:

FLT is available at WeatherBug.com or on the WeatherBug app. Enter the zip code or the city and state in the location section to view the FLT.

If an activity is suspended due to heat, REFUNDS for FIELD PROGRAM, CAMP, or LEAGUE FEES WILL NOT BE ISSUED.
