  • Planning for Incidents at Special Events 1
    Running head: PLANNING FOR INCIDENTS AT SPECIAL EVENTS 1 Planning for incidents at special events Lee Parker Forsyth County Fire Department, Cumming, GA PLANNING FOR INCIDENTS AT SPECIAL EVENTS 2 Planning for incidents at special events CERTIFICATION STATEMENT I hereby certify that this paper constitutes my own product, that where the language of others is set forth, quotation marks so indicate, and that appropriate credit is given where I have used the language, ideas, expressions, or writings of another. Signed:___________________________________ PLANNING FOR INCIDENTS AT SPECIAL EVENTS 3 Abstract Forsyth County plays host to dozens of special events every year where hundreds to tens of thousands of participants gather. The problem is FCFD does not initiate a plan to deal with incidents that may occur at special events in Forsyth County. The purpose of this research is to determine the need for developing a plan to deal with potential incidents at special events in Forsyth County. The descriptive research method was used to conduct the research. Research included a literature review of current authors, surveys and interviews used to answer the following questions: a) what national standards are available regarding planning for special events? b) What steps are taken by other organizations to plan for special events? c) What criteria determine the need for an Incident action plan? d) What special events take place in Forsyth County? and e) what other agencies should be involved in planning for special events in Forsyth County? Surveys were completed by several Georgia fire departments to help answer the research questions. Interviews and personal communications were also conducted with several key members of the FCFD and others granting permission for special events.
