Planned events bring predictable risks — but unpredictable demand. Fire leaders must make early decisions on staging, staffing and resource placement that will shape outcomes when conditions change.

This downloadable checklist provides a practical framework to prepare for large gatherings, special events and potential mass casualty incidents. It focuses on what to lock in before the event starts, so crews can deploy quickly and operate under control when demand spikes.
