This ensures that they are able to effectively perform their duties and respond quickly to any emergencies that may arise.

This reduces the risk of collisions, falls, and other accidents that may occur when too many people are present. It allows for better supervision and control over the play area, making it easier to identify and address any potential hazards or unsafe behavior.

Therefore, it is crucial to take immediate action to ensure the safety of individuals in these areas by evacuating them to a safer location. Waiting for the lightning and thunder to be below 5 seconds or going on a break would not be appropriate responses in this situation. Calling EMS may be necessary if someone is injured, but the priority should be to evacuate the vulnerable areas first.
