Have you asked yourself why we should have a safety plan in place?
And the following statement is, "we've never had an issue in the past, so why start NOW."
Today's environment warrants your attention to the sample risks and more addressing the consequences you identify.
Be proactive instead of reactive.
Each event has varying safety issues! A large expo will have different safety issues than a children's event with bounce houses, yet each event has a degree of security and safety issues! There is no one size fits all security plan!
Read the following examples of potential threats and think:

If yes, what is your action plan?
Terrorism and Security:

· Active shooter?
First Aid:
· What happens if someone falls and is unconscious?
· Has a heart attack?
· Someone passes away on the spot.
