Planning the evacuation in the event of an emergency is an important part of event planning.

As well as general event emergency procedures, you can consider including:

• Accessible communication strategies such as:
  • Visual alerts for the Deaf community or people who are hard of hearing
  • Calmly using easy English to let people with intellectual disability know what to do
• Designated event staff or emergency services personnel to provide additional assistance as required
• Multiple evacuation routes and assembly points, and making sure event staff are aware of these.
