Weather Preparedness & Resilience Toolbox out now

YOUROPE is proud to present you their next big publication: the Weather Preparedness & Resilience Toolbox, developed by YES Group and YOUROPE.

Weather and climate define the environmental frame in which festivals take place – and both are changing in ways that directly influence the festival season.

Traditional expectations of “typical summer weather” are no longer reliable for any European country. Weeks of stable sunshine can be interrupted by sudden downpours; long dry periods can turn into heavy, concentrated rainfall within hours; and warm evenings may just as easily become nights of unexpected cold or high winds.

These shifts do not only create inconvenience – they change the physical environment in which visitors move, rest, queue, camp and celebrate. This is the reason why we have created this Weather Toolbox.

A truly weather-ready festival means thinking of everyone – providing clear, accessible information, planning for comfort and safety, and creating conditions that make every person on site feel protected, included, and welcome, no matter what the sky brings.

The Weather Toolbox brings together practical and research-based resources to give background information on weather & climate to help you design safer and more weather-resilient festivals and outdoor events.

It is aimed at organizers, safety professionals, production teams – everyone involved in planning, building, and operating open-air events. And of course we do not forget about the audience.

The PDF version of the Weather Toolbox summarizes the most important topics and includes links to our website, where you can find more detailed texts on everything mentioned in the PDF.

This Toolbox is supposed to be growing and evolving, so if you know of something (a resource, an article, an experience), get in touch.
