Weather Safety for Live Events

This course provides an in-depth exploration of weather safety in the context of live events, building on the foundational knowledge gained in FPM-40700, 'Introduction to Event Safety.' Students will examine a comprehensive range of weather scenarios, from ideal conditions to severe weather events such as extreme heat, heavy rain, high winds, and lightning. Emphasis is placed on understanding basic meteorological data, developing effective weather action plans, and implementing the hierarchy of controls to mitigate weather-related risks. Through case studies and practical exercises, students will learn to anticipate and manage the impacts of weather on event operations and the physical safety of all stakeholders. By the end of the course, students will be equipped with the skills necessary to create robust weather safety protocols tailored to the specific needs of live events.
