]
It includes formulating, preparing & implementing security
plans & strategies for events i.e. how to protect delegates,
guests, service, providers, organizes, sponsors, partners, clients,
target, audience, media people goods & merchandise and yourself
from unforeseen circumstances like:
1. Fire
In case of fire at the event venue, use fire extinguisher
to extinguish the fire. In the mean time take everyone out of
the venue safely. Develop a separate emergency exit plan for
this. If fire is uncontrollable then call the fire brigade.
Follow fire code and safety regulations to prevent the fire
as specified below:
1. Don't place any combustible or inflammable
material in the venue esp. near green rooms, guest rooms or
seating area.
2. All materials including prop must be properly treated with
fire retardant solution.
3. Make sure that the entrance and exit ways are not blocked
by any material or by any means.
4. Make sure that the event venue must have separate entrance
and exit ways, fire alarm system and fire extinguishers.
5. Use only those electrical equipments which are branded and
which use three core wires.
6. At least one doctor with first aid box along with the ambulance
must be there at the venue to handle medical emergency.
7. Your staff must be well trained about giving first aid like
CPR and must be able to handle fire extinguishers and crowd
in case of fire.
2. Power Failure
If you are organizing event at a place where power failure is
common, then you should have adequate power backup. In case
of a power failure, switch on the emergency lights and then
turned on the generators. If you have UPS (uninterrupted power
supply) system, then it is the best. If you cant arrange such
types of power backups, then at least you should have torch
or candles. Create a separate emergency plan to handle crowd
and guests in case of a power failure.
3. Equipment Failure
Use equipments of only reputed brands so that the possibility
of their failure is least. Hire only those light and sound technicians
who know how to fix up their equipments in case of any problem
and who carry backup equipments also. Create a separate emergency
plan to manage programs and performers in case of a power failure.
4. Medical Emergency
A paramedical team along with ambulance must be present
at the event venue. If this is out of budget, then at least
a doctor with first aid box must be present. Your whole event
team must be well trained in giving first aid like check for
breathing, CPR, controlling bleeding, effecting a prompt rescue.
If possible try to know the medical history of your guests in
advance and then prepare your medical emergency plan accordingly.
For e.g. if a guest is allergic to grass and weed pollens, then
you should make sure that he doesn't sit near grass.
5. Brawl/Stampede
6. Bad Weather
7. Last Minute Turned Down
