Children can be very susceptible to winter weather dangers.
Their youthful enthusiasm often takes over when common sense and safety should prevail. Even if they are cold, wet or exhausted, they often are not aware of weather-related risks. School administrators and principals need to be sensitive to the dangers winter weather can pose to children, and be prepared. Winter weather procedures and practices need to be set up before winter starts. The best source for the latest information is NOAA Weather Radio.
