Event Planning Blueprint: If you have never put an event safety guide together for your events then I strongly recommend that you work with somebody who has done one because they can be quite comprehensive and very detailed and very specific depending on the type of event you’re planning.
In many cases, you can create one and then use it for all of your events moving forward and then update it, but they can be very comprehensive and it depends on the scale of your event, so let’s get into a few things that you need to think about before you build a safety guide.

I think this article is a very helpful tool for those who are making their first safety plans. I like how the author explains that no matter what size of an event you are planning, a safety plan is still very important. Also, I think its really interesting how you have to take so many different factors into consideration. Factors like the weather and the age range of people attending the event, things that seem so minute but can really affect the plan for an emergency. I think it is smart to plan for the worst case scenario because if the worst case scenario happens you are prepared and if another emergency happens you will be over prepared. There are many different categories that a plan should have such as first aid, communication, food and water, and security. I really like the idea of having a control room for things like this. Even if it just a room where you keep the first aid supplies or take people who have taken ill to get out of the center of attention. Overall, I think this article offer a lot of great advice for those who are really interested in keeping their events safe.
In going to read this article I was expecting it to talk about safety in terms of worst case scenarios and about things you have to plan for once an event has already started and something happens. However, she goes over everything that encompasses planning for safety at any event and it is far more than I thought it would be. This makes sense because there are so many other things that need to be worried about and planned for before you even consider scenarios. Entrances/exists is such a major one because of crowd control but it is also very difficult to deal with because getting into an event you want one entrance or a couple where everyone can be accounted. However, you also need many and all entrances/exists to be able to be used in case something does occur and then what about during the event? You still need control to a degree but you can’t limit it either. This is such a complicated thing to worry about and it is just one thing that safety planners do worry about. They have much, much more they deal with like first aid kits, placement of objects, etc. She quickly mentions that creating a plan is very comprehensive and she is absolutely on point with that as there is so much that I didn’t even think about. This article not only explains it but it teaches you how to create one and it’s such an important thing, especially in the world of entertainment whether it’s in a theatre, a movie theater, a music festival, concert, or any other event that could occur.
