VENUES & LIVE EVENTS
THE CROWD SEES IT FIRST — YOUR TEAM SHOULD TOO.
Arenas, stadiums, festivals, outdoor events — when tens of thousands of people are on a site, the first sign of trouble shows up in the crowd, not in the command post. Share911 (US) and Share999 (UK) get a report from anyone on the ground to everyone who can act — and a message back to the crowd — in seconds.
WHAT THE GROUND SEES, COMMAND OFTEN CAN’T.
At a packed event, danger is usually visible to the people closest to it long before it reaches the people who can stop it — a crush building against a barrier, a medical emergency in a far stand, a threat at a gate. By the time it climbs the chain, the minutes that mattered are gone.
And the crowd itself — sensing something is wrong, with no instruction — is left to guess. The sites are sprawling, often outdoors and temporary, with several agencies and contractors who don’t share a radio or a picture.
HOW IT WORKS
ONE PICTURE — FROM THE GROUND, TO COMMAND, TO THE CROWD.
Report from anywhere on site — staff, stewards and security raise it instantly, with location, from a phone.
Unified command sees it at once — security, medical, the venue and the responding agencies on one shared, real-time picture.
Reach the crowd, by zone — clear instructions and updates to the people who need them, where they are.
Two-way — confirm what’s happening and what’s been done, instead of guessing.
Built for sprawling, temporary sites — a stadium, a campus or an open field, with alerts scaled to who’s nearby.
WHAT THE INQUIRIES FOUND
BUILT FOR THE LESSON THAT KEEPS REPEATING.
In the United States there’s no single national standard for crowd safety — but the lessons are documented. After the Astroworld tragedy, the Texas Governor’s Task Force on Concert Safety recommended integrating first responders into one unified on-site command, so the people who can act can see what the crowd already knows.
In the United Kingdom, Martyn’s Law brings qualifying venues and events into scope — larger sites sit in the enhanced tier — requiring public protection procedures and, for the biggest, a documented plan. The Manchester Arena Inquiry made the cost of siloed services unmistakable: a shared picture, applied early, changes the response.
COMMON QUESTIONS
What is event mass notification?
A way to reach everyone on a site — by zone or all at once — with a clear instruction and live updates during an incident, instead of relying on word spreading through a crowd. Share911 and Share999 do that, and let anyone on the ground raise the alarm in the first place.
Does it work for outdoor and temporary sites?
Yes. It’s built for sprawling, temporary footprints — festivals, open grounds, multi-building campuses — with alerts scaled to who’s nearby, not tied to fixed infrastructure.
How does it help with Martyn’s Law?
Martyn’s Law asks qualifying venues and events to have public protection procedures — evacuate, move people to safety, lock down, communicate. Share999 is the communication layer that makes those procedures work in real time. It supports the duty; it doesn’t replace your plan.
Can multiple agencies and contractors use it together?
Yes — that shared picture across security, medical, the venue and the emergency services is the whole point. In the UK it’s exactly the joint working JESIP describes.
