What lessons should teenagers learn from the stampede?

Through this stampede accident, we can find that when organizing large-scale mass activities, we must pay special attention to the following points:

First, we must prepare and report early.

Public events involving large crowds must be prepared at least one or two months in advance; for organizing, early preparation and early notification must be made; for non-organized or continuous activities, it must also be cancelled. Prepare early and notify early. You can’t just say you won’t organize it a day or two in advance. Matters involving so many departments, units, and people cannot simply issue a notice.

The second is to have clear responsibilities, clear rights, and clear measures.

When organizing any activity, it is necessary to make it clear which level is responsible, who is organizing it and who is co-organizing it, and the relevant security departments, including those involving water, electricity, gas, communications and other departments, must be coordinated ;Measures must be specific, clear, and implementable, and cannot be discussed in general terms. They must be specific to the responsible units and personnel; responsibilities and rights must be clearly defined: horizontally to the edge, vertically to the end, and pressure to the person; all participants must have responsibilities and pressure; in this way Only in this way can all participants be mobilized. Of course, when it comes to accountability after the incident, all levels must be held accountable, and leaders at the municipal level must be held accountable, but it is not enough to only hold one level accountable.

Third, the scene must be under unified command and segmented control.

The on-site command must be unified and there cannot be multiple commands. The on-site commander must unify all shops, personnel, etc., and cannot do their own thing.

However, in large-density crowd gatherings, the commander-in-chief cannot specifically control every point. Moreover, once an accident or congestion occurs at a certain point, it will be difficult for external support forces to enter the scene in time. Therefore, control must be divided into blocks, and the blocks must be small. Nowadays, the internationally accepted practice is to manage event venues in a grid, using aisles to "check out" the crowds; each square area has a dedicated person in charge, so that if an individual area gets out of control, it will not spread.

The fourth is to do a good job in ground treatment.

For crowded activities, the venue must be properly handled. A direct reason for the stampede was that there were steps and some people tripped and fell in the congestion. Therefore, if there are steps in the event venue, they should be paved with wooden boards and converted into ramps; if there is a bridge (the arch bridge where the Miyun stampede occurred in 2004), the bridge arch can be slowed down and the approach bridge can be extended; if the bridge is too narrow, you can Abandon it, or build pontoons on both sides; sometimes the ground is slippery, such as rain in the south or snow in the north, so be prepared to prevent slipping; if the weather is bad, simply cancel.

The fifth is to guide the flow of people.

The organizer must design the control of crowd flow in advance. For gatherings with a large number of people, the flow of people must be one-way, only forward and not backward. The stampede in Shanghai was caused by the flow of people on the steps.

Sixth is the best evacuation work at the entry and exit stages.

In the entry stage, many people are eager to enter the venue, so the time and distance for entry must be extended; when leaving the venue, more exits must be opened and the exits must be large enough. Related to this are transportation, vehicles transporting people, roads must be smooth, and parking spaces must be large enough; bus transportation operating hours must be extended, and overnight operation may be considered, so that people will leave without being in a hurry and avoid rushing on their way. And crowded.

Seventh, on-site personnel must be equipped with various equipment, such as lighting equipment (especially for evening activities), on-site broadcast equipment, communication equipment, and video recording equipment. That night, if there were police and loudspeaker equipment at the scene, the information about the stampede would have been quickly spread, instead of relying on everyone to spontaneously shout "back up", which was drowned out by the noise of the crowd; in addition, various The equipment can also prevent harassment, theft, robbery, snatching, and murder; evidence can be obtained afterwards; police recording and video recording of the incident; as evidence, it is the most convincing.
