Lightning Policy

Town of Miami Lakes Lightning Safety Policy

To enhance public safety, the Town of Miami Lakes has implemented the Thor Guard Lightning Prediction System at Miami Lakes Optimist Park and Royal Oaks Park. This system is designed to reduce the risk of lightning-related injuries.

When a potential lightning threat is detected, the system will emit a 15-second horn blast. At this signal, all outdoor areas must be immediately cleared. Patrons should seek shelter in fully enclosed buildings or vehicles and remain there until the "All Clear" signal sounds, which will consist of three short horn blasts.

Patrons are strongly advised not to take shelter in or near dugouts, trees, fences, playground equipment, light or telephone poles, umbrellas, or metal objects, as these do not offer adequate protection.

This policy applies to all programs and facilities operated by the Town of Miami Lakes or its affiliate organizations. Coaches and participants who do not comply may face disciplinary actions, including removal from the program and loss of facility access.

The system will be active only during normal park hours: 7:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m.


Política de Seguridad contra Rayos del Town of Miami Lakes

Para aumentar la seguridad pública, el Town of Miami Lakes ha instalado el Sistema de Predicción de Rayos Thor Guard en el Parque Optimist de Miami Lakes y el Parque Royal Oaks. Este sistema está diseñado para reducir el riesgo de lesiones causadas por rayos.

Cuando se detecta una posible amenaza de rayo, el sistema emitirá una señal sonora de 15 segundos. Ante esta alerta, todas las áreas exteriores deben ser evacuadas de inmediato. Los asistentes deben refugiarse en edificios completamente cerrados o vehículos, y permanecer allí hasta que suene la señal de “Todo Claro”, que consistirá en tres toques cortos de bocina.

Se recomienda encarecidamente no buscar refugio en o cerca de dugouts, árboles, cercas, áreas de juegos, postes de luz o teléfono, sombrillas u objetos metálicos, ya que no brindan protección adecuada.

Esta política aplica a todos los programas e instalaciones operados por el Town of Miami Lakes o sus organizaciones afiliadas. Los entrenadores y participantes que no cumplan con esta política pueden ser sancionados, incluso con la expulsión del programa y la pérdida del acceso a las instalaciones.

El sistema funcionará únicamente durante el horario regular del parque: de 7:30 a.m. a 10:30 p.m.
