Overview
Every four years, a celebrated multi-sport event welcomes more than a million spectators and
athletes from across the globe. With numerous competition venues and hundreds of volunteers and staff, the event demands exceptional coordination and communication to ensure safety and
operational success.
During one iteration of the event, the operations and security teams met that challenge with Juvare’s WebEOC. The result was greater safety, efficiency, and collaboration at scale.
Objective: Coordinating Security Across the Board
With national, regional, and local agencies working together, success depended on highly integrated security. The leadership team sought a solution that could facilitate
collaboration, standardize processes, and ensure accurate, timely information sharing at every level of command. Managing communication would involve its own set of challenges; any solution would need to help the team get important information to key personnel quickly.
For the event’s security leaders, the mission was clear: they needed to create a safe, smooth experience for participants and spectators while maintaining transparency and accountability across the board.
Strategy: Building an Integrated Security Workflow
After analyzing best practices from other multi-national sporting events, the security organization established a multi-tiered, integrated security framework connecting tactical, operational, and strategic management.
Five guiding principles formed the foundation for this effort:
- An integrated team structure
- Empowerment, responsibility, and
accountability across all roles - Decision-making at the lowest appropriate
operational level - Reporting based on both geographic and
functional reporting lines - Meets the needs of established crisis and
incident management processes
To execute this strategy effectively, the organization needed a technology platform capable of uniting multiple agencies under one operational picture. They turned to WebEOC, Juvare’s trusted incident and information management solution.
Solution: WebEOC as the Operational Backbone
WebEOC gives organizations around the world complete situational awareness for incident management and daily operational support. Event management personnel, volunteers, and others can access WebEOC from any device to view a common operating picture of activities.

For event leaders, WebEOC was the flexible foundation they needed to coordinate security
operations across agencies, venues, and response teams.
