Safety at Concerts and Sporting Events

HOW CAN I STAY SAFE IN LARGE CROWDS?

Before settling into an event, identify nearby exits, staff, and medical assistance. Choose a meeting place in case your group becomes separated, and keep aisles and exit routes clear. Pay attention to crowd conditions and move toward a less crowded area early if you feel unsafe. For outdoor events, monitor weather alerts, plan for heat, and follow official shelter or evacuation instructions. If someone is injured, contact event staff or emergency services and prioritize care before gathering information about what happened.

PLAN AHEAD: DESIGNATE MEETING POINTS AND COORDINATE IN CASE OF FIRE OR OVERCROWDING.
