Prepare workplaces, outdoor crews, venues, festivals, schools, sports, churches, camps, and other organized groups during the watch window.
Organizer and supervisor guides for alert monitoring, shelter roles, communication, arrivals, departures, and backup plans.
Use this hub when a watch affects people you are responsible for: employees, contractors, visitors, spectators, campers, teams, vendors, or attendees.
These guides help define roles and communication before time pressure increases. They do not claim to satisfy OSHA, venue, insurance, lease, school, or local permitting requirements.
