[civsa] Inclement Weather Policies

[Carley Davis]

Being a school in Southwest Florida we have a lot of afternoon storms this
time of year.  Currently, our policy is that tours go out rain or shine.
We do have an exception that if it is thundering and lightning out that we
will first, attempt to borrow a campus van and make our best attempt at the
tour.  This is awkward to visitors and the tour guide as so many places on
campus aren't accessible by car or visible.  I have only had to actually
cancel a few tours throughout the year.  That being said, there have also
been several tours that have had to "camp out" in various spots while a
storm passes.

We do provide ponchos for guests when it's raining.  Almost everyone still
wants to tour in the rain so the ponchos work out.  They aren't branded so
we order them in bulk pretty cheap.  We have also purchased umbrellas to be
used during tours but ask guests to return them post tour.

I am interested in what others do and if/when you cancel tours due to
weather.  Also, what your follow up is if you do cancel or if a tour group
isn't able to truly get the full tour due to weather.


Happy Monday!
