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.
