Severe Weather Preparedness Training

For Outdoor Event Organizers

Are you the leader or part of a team that organizes or manages outdoor venues such as sporting events, waterparks, fairs, concerts, etc? Do you have concerns that severe weather might impact participants?

The objectives of the training will include:

* Discuss types of weather that can have a significant impact on events
