9 Easy Steps To Managing Lightning At Your Facility

It only takes a split second for tragedy to strike from the sky, literally! Severe weather like lightning and dangerous thunderstorms continues to threaten park staff and visitors especially during the warm summer months. Just recently, on May 18th, 2019, a woman was struck and injured by lightning while fishing at Smithville Lake in Missouri. In fact, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reports that about two-thirds of all lightning deaths in the U.S. are associated with outdoor recreation activities. Does your facility have a lightning safety policy in place? The threat of lightning should be taken seriously by every recreational facility and park. Lightning is an early indicator of other severe weather phenomena like severe thunderstorms, hails, tornadoes, and even high winds! However, there is good news. Lightning can be planned for, monitored, and alerted upon effectively at your facility. Let us show you how.

Addressing Substance Misuse and Associated Stigmas in Parks

New York City has been dramatically impacted by injection drug use - anywhere from 100 to 10,000 discarded syringes are found in parks daily. Julien Scott, Bronx Operations Manager, discusses how his park system has worked to address the various issues associated with discarded syringes. Along with the NYC Department of Health, NYC Parks convened a task force that meets monthly with over 75 individuals from 16 agencies, organizations and civic groups. This group focuses on assessing the drug-using population in parks, improving syringe disposal efforts, park-specific social service outreach, community engagement, internal staff development, and increased security. Part of the staff safety and development training includes framing drug use in parks as a public health crisis and discussing challenges like stigma and socio-economic implications of public drug use and criminalization, existing racial disparities among opioid overdose fatality rates, and how this exacerbates the opioid epidemic in the south Bronx.
