In case of X, do Y.


Ahead of the Event

In all cases, there's some prepwork that'll safe everyone hassle and time. Prep Work:

  • The Autocrats should make contact with the Royal Herald to establish a "hi sign" so they may be heralded into Court to advise the Crown of the situation.
  • Clear lines of travel should be maintained between the open areas and the Main Hall, especially in high-traffic locations (ie the Listfield). We may want to start advising campers at our events to do so as well.
  • Tell Gate that if they should have to leave their post in a rush, proper money storage considerations hold: the money goes one place and the paperwork goes somewhere else. All else can be abandoned.
  • The Autocrats are the decision-makers in case a situation arises that requires the assistance of the Emergency Services.

Routine Considerations

Waterbearing is set up for the hydration of all. Hydration is key to preventing heat stroke and other exposure related maladies.


In case of heat-related maladies:

  • Ask the Kitchen to use the ice machine
  • Ask the Kitchen to use the walk-in cooler
  • Use the Hall at your discretion - it may be warmer in there from lack of a breeze
  • Contact the Chiurgeon in Charge

Dangerous Weather

At Triumphe, this will often be storms of epic proportions. (People are calling Triumphe VI "Stormpocalypse" for the sudden, high speed, straightline winds that came up quicker than anyone expected.)


Things to Do:

  • Extinguish all non-battery light.
  • Drop pavilions. They don't need to be unstaked, just drop the uprights flat to the ground. This will prevent tear on the ropes and stress points in the canvas.
  • Personal tents may be advised to be dropped, and bedding moved to the Main Hall. The Admin Building may also potentially be used (depending on who/how many are staying in there).
