When the THOR GUARD sounds the alarm:
1. All activities stop.
2. Staff and patrons should find shelter immediately in a nonconvertible automobile or building, even if the weather appears not to be threatening.
3. Picnic shelters, without walls, are not suitable lightning shelters, as lightning can strike at an angle.
4. If adult participants refuse to seek shelter, staff should seek shelter themselves.
5. At no time should staff put themselves at risk.
When the THOR GUARD sounds the all-clear and the strobe light goes off, all activities may resume. Supervisors and employees who work outside should listen to current weather forecasts the morning of any planned outdoor activities so that employees can be alert to changing weather conditions. If the sky looks threatening, staff should still monitor the weather via the radio, weather radio and any information supplied by Park Police
