Evacuation of a stadium: ensuring visitors leave calmly and safely
In the event of a severe thunderstorm, a threat or a technical problem, a full stadium may need to be evacuated at short notice. CrisisRadar helps stadiums, organisers and local authorities to guide thousands of visitors out of the stadium calmly and safely.
What happens
During a sold-out match or festival, a severe thunderstorm is rapidly approaching. There is a risk of lightning, and the organisers decide that the stands and the grounds must be evacuated. There are tens of thousands of spectators in the stadium, spread across numerous exits. The biggest challenge is to prevent panic. Visitors need to know exactly which exit to take and where they can take shelter safely. Security staff, stewards, emergency services and the local council must all have the same information at the same time in order to manage the flow of people effectively.
