Student Athletes Heat and Wind Chill NYSPHSAA Policy

Student Athletes Heat and Wind Chill NYSPHSAA Policy
HEAT ALERT POLICY

I am posting this information for both students and parents because my objective always is to help student athletes prevent avoidable injuries and keep them safe. My daughter is an athlete that participates in 3 sports throughout the school year and is often faced with EXTREME WEATHER CONDITIONS. PARENTS it is VERY IMPORTANT that athletes say hydrated in extreme hot weather, the coaches will constantly reinforce this message, but it is advisable that this message start at home.

The information below is listed on the NYSPHSAA website.

Modified Heat Alert – When the heat index reaches 88 (equivalent to T.H.I. of 73), practice sessions or contests in all sports must include:
a. Forced, frequent water breaks (every 10-15 minutes).
b. Loose clothing, light colored shorts and tee shirts (mesh recommended) for practice sessions.
c. Frequent rest breaks in shaded areas.
d. For football and lacrosse, mandatory water breaks every 15 minutes during which all players must remove helmets. Those players not participating in contact activities during practice, games or scrimmages shall not wear helmets. Players looking to get the latest equipment for their next match may want to check out things like lacrosse sticks available online from sites like String King.

NOTE: During all contests, the rules are to be modified to permit additional time outs for rest and forced water breaks.

Full Heat Alert – When the heat index reaches 95 (equivalent to T.H.I. of 78), no physical activity in any sport is permitted. Team meetings are permitted.

Southampton Urges Residents to Sign-Up Emergency Alerts

Hamptons Happenings: Community: Southampton Urges Residents to Sign-Up Emergency Alerts
Town of Southampton
Press Release
Town Urges Residents to Sign-Up
for Notify Me® Emergency Alerts

Dear Neighbors and Visitors:

As a coastal community, we must prepare for any emergency -whether it is a hurricane, fire, flood, or snow storm. An important priority, Southampton Town is constantly improving its own readiness through planning and hands-on exercises, and by coordinating with county, state, and federal agencies.
Recognizing that preparation is our best defense, we have released a new brochure, Be Prepared. (Available in English & Spanish) Updated, handy, and compact, the pamphlet is designed specifically for Southampton residents, with valuable information such as: important telephone numbers, advice on caring for the elderly and those with special needs, ensuring your pet’s safety, protecting your home or business, and assembling a “go bag” and home emergency kit. Pick up your Be Prepared brochure at the following locations:

Southampton Town Hall
Town Senior Centers
Parks & Recreation Office
Village Halls
Chambers of Commerce
Libraries
Southampton Youth Services (SYS)

In addition, citizens can also register for the new CodeRED notification system. CodeRED is now used by local governments, schools, universities and utilities. The CODE RED emergency notification system is an extremely high speed communication service capable of delivering millions of pre-recorded emergency telephone messages per day to Suffolk County homes and businesses. CODE RED also has high speed email and text messaging capability. Participants may register up to two phone numbers and one email address. Adding your contact information will ensure that you will be included when a message is sent. So if you’re wanting to register your elderly family members to the alert notifications, look into senior ease of use phones, if you were to look here, such phones still exist, then register the given number to CodeRED.

You are encouraged to use these new resources to assist you in keeping you and your family safe. With improved technology and better tracking, we now have the means to obtain advance notification of severe weather events, regional emergencies, and how best to prepare for them.

Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Town’s Citizens’ Response Center (CRC) at (631) 702-2440, or contact the Emergency Management Office at (631) 728-3400.
