Crowds can become targets of terrorist attacks, especially during events at popular venues, with the entry (ingress) and exit (egress) points particularly vulnerable. The National Protective Security Authority (NPSA) has produced new guidance on the mitigation of terrorist threats at venues during ingress and egress which highlights the main security concerns and provides various strategies to reduce the risks. The guidance is about planning and preparation to make sure people visiting venues and attending events remain safe, especially during ingress and egress, which are particularly vulnerable to attacks.
