When it comes to organizing outdoor events, event producers must always anticipate the unpredictable nature of the weather. To ensure a successful event despite inclement conditions, it's crucial to strategize across three key areas: preparation, response, and post-incident management. Remember, the items listed are not exhaustive; each event will have unique requirements. We will discuss what we consider essential considerations for weather planning and safe events.
