SEVERE WEATHER POLICY

Clemson University has developed a campus-wide Early Warning Siren System for severe weather. Severe weather includes, but is not limited to: Lightning, High Winds and/or Tornados.

Policy and Procedure

1. The Clemson Staff and Clemson University Police Department will be alerted via text message of approaching inclement weather 15 miles from Memorial Stadium. 2. Upon receiving the text message, the Staff will alert the Event Manager of the weather situation. 3. At the next break in play, the Staff and Event Manager will alert the coaches and officials of the inclement weather. 4. If inclement weather comes within 8 miles of Memorial Stadium another text from the weather service will be sent. At this time, the Staff and Event Manager will alert officials and the field will be cleared. The Clemson University Police Department will call the Press Box at 656-4303 and alert them that the siren system will be activated in one minute. At that time, the Press Box will make an announcement to all fans warning them to seek shelter.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HAS JUST INFORMED US OF INCLEMENT WEATHER MOVING INTO OUR AREA. EVERYONE IS ASKED TO MOVE IN AN ORDERLY MANNER TO A SAFE LOCATION UNDERNEATH THE STADIUM or YOUR CAR. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION.

5. At this time the Clemson University Police/Fire Department will activate the Siren System. There will be an Electronic Siren that sounds for 1 minute and then a Voice message will sound, indicating the specific Warning … this sequence will repeat 2 times. This serves as the campus-wide directive to relocate to a safe shelter. 6. Fike Recreation Center will be used as the Safety Shelter for teams and fans in the event of a tornado. 7. No Sirens will be activated for “ALL CLEAR” conditions with the only exception being tornado warnings whereas the sirens will sound to inform the community that the tornado warning has ended for this area. When weather conditions are safe to resume outdoor activity, an “ALL CLEAR” text message will be sent to the Clemson University Police Department and Clemson Staff Athletic Trainers. At this time, officials and coaches will be notified and play will resume.

Riggs Field Evacuation Procedures

This Emergency Evacuation Plan (EEP) has been designed to assist the Venue Management of the Clemson University Athletic Department in the creation of a system for protection of lie and property in the event of a fire, explosion, bomb threats, chemical releases, stand collapse or other emergency (whether natural or man caused) requiring the movement of people from an area which is believed to be unsafe within the Venue or from the Venue in general to a safe area.

In the event that Riggs Field needs to be evacuated for safety purposes during a Soccer Match, the following procedures need to be followed.

The decision to evacuate or cancel the game should come from these representatives. 1. CUPD Police Chief 2. University President 3. Athletic Director 4. Athletic Administration

*Note: If loss of life is imminent any of the four representatives should make the call to immediately evacuate the facility. If time permits a collective decision should be reached with all parties.

1. Coach’s, Players and Officials

A representative from the Athletic Department (GAME MANAGER) will notify each party that they need to clear the facility immediately. A. Home Team assistant coach B. Visiting Team assistant coach C. Officials

After each team and the officials have been notified of the evacuation they will be directed to Fike Recreation Center where a representative of the Athletic Department will lead both teams and officials to a locker room.

2. Fans and General Public

Event staff will follow guidelines set in the Evacuation Procedures. All fans will be directed to Fike Recreation Center and event staff employees will meet in the lobby after Riggs Field has been cleared.
