The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), in collaboration with state and local partners from Eastern Pennsylvania, invite you to join an in-person seminar to enhance your awareness of Securing Mass Gatherings and Special Events.
Mass gatherings and special events are increasingly vulnerable to violent attacks and criminal activity because of their relative accessibility and large number of potential targets. Given the threats towards, and incidents against, public gathering locations or events, it is important to understand the potential impacts from a successful attack, as well as the corresponding protective measures that can be taken to enhance their security.
CISA fosters collaboration between the private and public sectors to mitigate risk and enhance the security and resilience of public gatherings, reducing the likelihood of a successful attack or, for those incidents that do occur, limiting the impacts to life and property. To help organizations mitigate potential risks in today’s dynamic and rapidly evolving threat environment, CISA provides resources for securing public gatherings.
