ADVICE

Pick Purpose And Setting First

  • Plan logistics like scale, purpose, and whether the event is rural, urban, or a preparedness exercise.
ADVICE

Choose Site By Access And Topography

  • Evaluate parking, access, clearings, drainage and topography before choosing a site.
  • Use off-site parking and shuttles if the site lacks vehicle capacity but is otherwise ideal.
ADVICE

Pick A Food Model Early
