Extreme Heat Policy and Procedure
Official Resource
As with all health related issues, our requirements will be based on the recommendations of theJapanese Health Authority. In the case of extreme heat, please refer to the official Heat Index
located here:

Activities Impacted by Extreme Heat
All activities requiring participants to enter non-air conditioned spaces exposed to direct sunlight(with limited shade) where physical activity beyond rest or slow movement is required for
durations beyond 15 minutes. This includes:● Travels, walks● Formal Sports and practices (i.e. Soccer)● Any outdoor activities (i.e. beach activities)
When the heat index falls in the red danger zone, and should activities be held that require
students to go outdoors, everyone involved must be well-prepared, and staff responsible musttake extraordinary precautions and ensure they have the support, means of communication, andresources they require to keep the children safe.

Of course, the higher the index rises in the danger zone, the more important it becomes toadjust, restrict or avoid outside activity altogether.
Indoor Optimal Temperature Ambient Temperature: 25°C (sports facilities, cottages, restaurants)

Safety Precautions & Resources
Should players be required to participate in outdoor activities in extreme heat situations,supervisors must be careful to ensure that players have:● A source of drinking water● Appropriate head gear
● Protection against sunburn● Access to emergency and first aid supplies (including cool packs)● Access to cool spaces● Emergency contact resources (emergency health providers)Parent-Staff Shared Responsibilities
Both parents and FC NOMADE staff have responsibilities regarding the health and safety of thechildren.
Parents should ensure that they are aware of their children’s activities with FC NOMADE eachday, and they should prepare them appropriately. This means to ensure their children arewearing the right clothing (weather and lesson appropriate), and that they are bringing with them
the resources they need (water, hats, sunscreen, etc.).

Care of Apparent Cases of Heat Stroke
Symptoms of heat stroke may include combinations of the following, depending on the severity,
and all staff must be aware and understand how to respond appropriately:● Feeling unwell after 30 minutes of resting in a cool place and drinking plenty of water● Vomiting● Not sweating even while feeling too hot● A high temperature of 40°C or above

● Fast breathing or shortness of breath● Confusion and incoherence● Seizure● Loss of consciousness● UnresponsivenessIf anyone displays signs of heat illness, it is imperative that their body temperature is lowered
conditions are prevented or stopped that could progress to heatstroke. In a lesser heat
emergency, such as heat cramps or heat exhaustion, the following steps may lower bodytemperature:● Get to a shady or air-conditioned place.
● Cool off with damp sheets and a fan. If you're with someone who's experiencing heat-related
symptoms, cool the person by covering him or her with damp sheets or by spraying with coolwater. Direct air onto the person with a fan.
● Immerse in cool water. If you're outdoors and not near shelter, soaking in a cool pond or
stream can help bring your temperature down.
● Rehydrate. Drink plenty of fluids. Also, because you lose salt through sweating, you canreplenish salt and water with some sports drinks. If your doctor has restricted your fluid or salt
intake, check with him or her to see how much you should drink and whether you should replacesalt.
● Don't drink sugary drinks to rehydrate. These drinks may interfere with your body's ability tocontrol your temperature. Also, very cold drinks can cause stomach cramps.
