Your Event's "What If?" Plan
Manage episode 522122948 series 3678677
It doesn’t matter how polished your event is. Every festival, tournament, parade, or downtown weekend has one thing in common: the unpredictable.
From sudden storms to fainting visitors, lost kids, or full evacuations, every community faces “What if?” moments. But the difference between chaos and calm isn’t luck. It’s preparation.
In this episode, we walk through the crisis plan every event needs, including:
• The weather decision points your team should define
• How to communicate clearly during closures or sheltering
• Accident response roles every volunteer should know
• Lost child protocols, reunification sites, and compassion planning
• Why your post-event debrief is where true excellence is built
When things go sideways, visitors aren’t judging the incident. They know things happen. They’re judging your leadership.
This episode helps you build the kind of “What If?” plan that keeps people safe, reduces stress for volunteers, and strengthens your event year after year.
Listen now to learn how to crisis-proof your event with confidence, clarity, and compassion.
