Safety & Security

Following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on America, IAVM formed the Safety and Security Task Force (SSTF) to conduct research and to assess and develop an ongoing series of Safety and Security Protocols. These protocols include "best practices," position statements and training materials on issues related to safety and security at public assembly facilities. Below are upcoming and available programs and resources for venue management in areas including safety, security, emergency planning, crowd management and life safety planning.
