Getting Started with Public Event Projects & Plans
COLLABORATE. PLAN. GATHER SAFELY.
A StrataSite™ Public Event Plan (PEP) accounts for and connects many of the moving parts and roles associated with planning and managing a safe and successful public event. Administrators can invite event organizers plus external stakeholders to plan, satellite-map and annotate perimeters, access points, staging areas, concession and first aid centers — plus surrounding traffic flow and key considerations related to emergency response. Additional supplemental information and worksheets helpful for unified workflow can also be uploaded into your Plan.
In this article, we will explain:
- The basic steps to create Public Event Projects and Plans
- Public Event Maps and Resources
PUBLIC EVENT PROJECTS AND PLANS
To create Public Event Projects and Plans:
- Create Groups

PUBLIC EVENT MAPS AND RESOURCES
Maps and Pins: When creating your Plans, you will select a Map. A Map is similar to a template and each Map has a collection of Pins to meet an objective. Pins are action points that are placed on a geographic location. Community Partner Agencies, such as Fire and Law Enforcement, can be assigned to a Pin, and supplemental information can be included. Custom Maps and custom Pins can easily be created to fit your needs. To learn more, visit the Create and Manage Maps article and the Create and Manage Pins article.
