Be Ready for Anything
Behind every flawless event lies a planner with a secret weapon, the event day emergency kit. It’s your backup plan ready to spring into action when all else fails. Whether it’s last minute décor repairs or a medical crisis, preparation can turn worst-case scenarios into tranquil composure.
The Basics for Quick Fixes
Tape for décor emergencies or keeping loose cables organized.
Scissors & multi-purpose tools for when nothing will simply cooperate. Cable ties & safety pins are small miracles for wardrobe mishaps or setup issues.
Extension cords & chargers because dead batteries don’t cut it.
Guest Comfort Basics
Stain remover wipes & lint roller accidents happen especially with white garments in particular.
Sewing kits for patching it up with a hasty seam.
Extra pens, notepads and markers because someone is always going to forget theirs.
Hand sanitizer & tissues, easy but always a welcome thought.
Medical Supplies Non-Negotiable
Events bring people together and where people tend to congregate, there will always be the potential for a little medical emergency. Every kit needs to include:
A first aid kit
Painkillers
Antihistamines
Gloves
Rescue blanket
Emergency Situations – Be Prepared
Even though everything will probably go fine, emergencies do happen. Here’s how your kit can help you to be ready for them:
CPR face shields or masks are essential to provide safe CPR if someone faints. Small choking aid or clear directions for the Heimlich maneuver and remember time is critical when someone is choking. An emergency contact list of the nearest hospitals should be kept nearby for immediate retrieval can be lifesaving. Walkie-talkies or power banks for your phones as communication is the key to emergencies.
Snacks & Hydration
Don’t underestimate the power of a quick boost. You will need energy bars and bottled water not just for your staff but also to help a guest in trouble.
An event planner’s emergency kit is more than just duct tape and safety pins it’s peace of mind. Having the right medical supplies and being prepared for situations like choking, fainting or allergic reactions ensures your guests’ safety and protects your reputation as a professional.
When you’re prepared your clients can relax knowing that no matter what happens, you’ve got it covered.
