Step by step

Create an event medical plan

Submit a medical plan and have emergency medical resources for your special event.

If your special event has more than 1000 attendees, more than 100 swimmers, or is required by a permitting agency, you have to submit an event medical plan and arrange for the right level of emergency medical services and resources.

All special events that need a medical plan must at least have:

  • A way for event staff to contact 911
  • People trained in CPR with AEDs

Other requirements for your event will depend on risk factors for your event. We’ll help you figure out what those are as you put together your medical plan.
