AVSP Inclement Weather Policy

This policy provides direction for actions in inclement weather to reduce the risk of human injury and to best preserve the Tennis Bubble. This policy is effective December 10, 2008

• When severe weather is expected, AVSP will monitor National Weather Service (NWS) warnings for Loudoun County through Weather.com during the hours the Pavilion is open.

• When a high wind warning or a storm (weather warnings) is posted to Weather.com, AVSP will send a blast email or telephone message to all tennis players with scheduled Bubble times alerting them to the weather warning and reminding them that conditions may require the Bubble to be closed without any additional prior notice

• So long as the weather warning is in effect, AVSP will inspect the exterior and interior of the Tennis Bubble at least once an hour or more frequently based on the severity of the weather. Any apparent compromise of the exterior or extreme movement of the interior will be grounds for the inspector to close the Bubble and evacuate the players. Extreme movement is defined as the perimeter lamps coming in contact with the bubble fabric in a given 3 minute observation interval.
