RE: weather notification
Weather is a very difficult call. Each site must be handled on an individual basis. Weather procedures are on the handouts given to you when you arrive. In Bedford it was given out at the gate when you arrived.
In Gem City it will also be at the gate.
Generally, weather warnings are the sounding of a siren. In Gem City it is a train horn. It is kept at the check station at the top of the hill so it can be heard throughout the ranges.
We monitor live radar and respond from that.
I will try and get a more detailed explanation for weather direction put together as soon as we can. But I can and will say that it is our individual responsibility to use common sense at all times.
