Northeast Event Emergency Response & Preparedness

Northeast Event Emergency Response & Preparedness NEERP is a group of like minded Venue & Event Managers with the common goal of providing info and tra

Concert and event venues generally have written policies which are provided to and discussed with event staff regarding fire alarms, injures, and similar. These policies are often accompanied by drills and/or postings to help ensure proper training and mindfulness. Recent events have demonstrated a lack of discussion and training on what event staff can do in certain emergency situations; specific

ally, the Las Vegas “shooting” on October 1st of this year. Newsweek published an article by Josh Saul on 2017, October 15th titled CONCERT SAFETY: EVENT WORKERS SAY THEY AREN'T TRAINED ON HOW TO HANDLE MASS SHOOTINGS, AND IT SCARES THEM. http://www.newsweek.com/las-vegas-shooting-event-workers-need-better-training-685269. This article struck a chord with me, particularly, a quote from a spotlight operator who was working the Route 91 Harvest festival. “‘Nobody knew what to do, where to go. We, the guys on the towers, we could turn a few degrees and look directly at where that guy was shooting from´… but nobody gave him or the other workers any instructions other than ‘Stay down.’” Our goal is to “provide the local event industry an open forum and training to better protect themselves and others in an uncommon emergency” focusing on Event Techs, Managers, Stage Hands, & Riggers, as well as Event Planners, Caterers, etc.

This week we set the politics aside to look at lessons event professionals can take away from the unrest at the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021. We talk about the differences between crowd management and crowd control, the importance of intelligence gathering, timely evacuation, and more.
