As the recent tragic events in Houston show us, unruly crowds can be dangerous, even deadly. How do you create a safe space for a huge gathering of people, each with different goals, as well as different emotional and mental states?  How do you build out a temporary space that is easy to navigate in moments of crisis? How do you deal with a restive crowd? 

 We don’t have all the answers about why Houston’s crowd reacted this way.  At ARCUS we work with the production teams and Local Law Enforcement to create plans just as they did in Houston.  Our hope is everyone can execute the plan accordingly in time of crisis.
