Establish a detailed emergency plan, including clear shelter locations and communication protocols. Work closely with venue staff to ensure all attendees are informed and safe, prioritising their wellbeing at all times.

Keep a close watch on the weather forecasts. As you plan, always have an indoor alternative or a sheltered area, such as a tent, ready. Ensure all essential supplies, including food and water, are prepared. Most importantly, have power backups in place and keep materials and equipment safe under waterproof covers.

Absolutely! Keeping attendees safe during a thunderstorm is all about preparation and communication. Stay informed with real-time weather updates and have a way to quickly relay info to attendees. Make your emergency plan crystal clear: where to shelter, where first aid is, and who to call for help. Consider distributing rain ponchos or flashlights in advance—useful for safety and peace of mind. If the storm passes without incident, collect the gear and donate it to an NGO. Safety first, but a little generosity can go a long way, too!

When planning an event you always have the communication open and a weather app on your phone. Tell everyone ahead of time if it is an outdoor event what will happen if a storm should arise. Always get extra insurance on the event and have a plan b,c, and d to fall back on. A failure to plan is asking for an event to fail.
