Physical Security Considerations for Temporary Facilities Fact Sheet

The Physical Security Considerations for Temporary Facilities Fact Sheet helps temporary facilities— defined as those that are established for set time frames for hosting a venue— navigate their unique security challenges due to their provisional nature. The dynamic threat environment, inclusive of international and domestic violent extremists emphasizing attacks in public gathering locations, further underscore the importance of incorporating security measures to keep facilities and people safe.

The Fact Sheet also informs operators how to determine if the facility has a security plan in place, if existing protective measures provide necessary security for the event, and how to conduct a vulnerability assessment to identify and prioritize areas of concern that need to be addressed. In addition, it provides cost-effective protective measures to mitigate identified vulnerabilities and enhance security, and access to resources to support decision-making.
