Special Event Permitting can be used to collect special event permits, manage the permit review process, and promote special events occurring in the community.
Special events are nonroutine activities within a community that bring together a large number of people. They drive economic development and are vital to quality of life but also place strain on community resources and often require special permits, planning, preparation, and mitigation of increased safety and security risks.
Special events require tremendous collaboration between government departments. Roads may be closed, additional police and fire services required to protect attendees, new food service vendors inspected, and additional trash pickup services required during the event. As a result, an event permit will typically be issued by a coordinating agency and used to coordinate the allocation of government resources. Understanding where special events are being planned helps streamline permit applications and ensures temporary assets and restrictions do not negatively impact the community.
The Special Event Permitting solution delivers a set of capabilities that help you collect permit applications and event site maps, coordinate the permit review process, gather feedback during permit review, share approved permits with stakeholders, and promote events occurring in a community.
Tip:
If you represent a public safety agency that requires the ability to plan and monitor public safety operations capabilities, you may be interested in the Special Event Operations solution. For those interested in permitting capabilities and public safety operational capabilities the Special Event Permitting and Special Event Operations can be deployed at the same time to work together.
