Mass Gatherings

In modern times, health and security have become important concerns for mass gatherings. Event organisers have to manage mismatches between the capacity of health and security infrastructure and potential surges in demand during the gatherings.

Events can be planned and unplanned, differing widely in character and mood. They impose a range of stresses on populations and public health systems. People gather to support sports teams or nations, express religion and culture, demonstrate or mourn the dead. A risk communication plan for mass gatherings can help avoid many of the public health issues connected with all types of gatherings.
