In emergency situations the role of the officers is to evacuate the Sports Complex or relocate to a safety zone while assisting the participants to do the same. For water related clubs the Sports Complex is your respective lakes. Personal safety is the most important aspect of evacuation. Use your own judgment when assisting other during the evacuation process. Please keep participants with disabilities in mind.

IMRS staff will notify the Sports Complex inhabitants of the need to relocate to a safety zone. This will be performed by cell phone, intercom, radio and/or in person. IMRS staff will be located on site directing people to the appropriate safety zone. An IMRS staff member may not be able to inform the water related clubs so please listen and obey emergency procedures in place at your respective lakes. Upon notification, calmly inform the participants to pick up their belongings and relocate to an instructed safe area.

All thunderstorms produce lightning with the potential for injury and death. When thunderstorms approach, take caution! It is recommended that you do not use electrical machines or the telephone during electrical storms. For water related clubs take caution and have all members exit your respective lakes immediately. Be cautious at all times and do not jeopardize your safety or the safety of others.
