The future of
safety planning
won't be found in a binder.

Playbook puts your event & emergency plans, maps and contacts in the pocket of every staffer, volunteer, and first responder — whether you're running a single event or the building your team manages every day.

Easy.

No more looking for your binder or digging through email for a PDF. With Playbook in your pocket, you're never more than two taps away from all your information: emergency & event plans, maps and venue/event specific contacts. All in one place and securely but easily accessible to your approved stakeholders.

Powerful.

Distribute the picture of a lost child to all of your volunteers and law enforcement personnel in minutes. Capture incident reports, after action insights and hotwash feedback without a single sheet of paper. Attach video and training reminders that won't get lost in email.

Portable.

Users spend 85% of time on their smartphones in apps. Why not deliver your most important plans through the app that is specifically designed for them? We promise: you'll never miss your binders and your volunteers won't forget their phones.

One Playbook. Built for the day — and the every day.

Some of you are planning a single event. Some of you are running a building, a campus, or a portfolio of properties that never has a day off. Most of you are both.

For Events

One date. One plan. Then it's done.

Races, conferences, concerts, tournaments, championships. Build a plan for a date range, publish it to your team days out, and let it retire automatically when the event's over.

For Venues & Campuses

Standing plans for places that never close.

Office buildings, hospitals, malls, hotels, school and corporate campuses. Maintain a year-round Emergency Operations Plan and SOPs — then spin up an event-specific plan the moment your conference center, stadium, or arena has something on the calendar.

Log 03 — Two Audiences, One Playbook

Built for the people running the event — and the people protecting it.

In The Field

Everything a volunteer or responder needs, at their fingertips.

  • Event Action Plan and Emergency Operations Plan in one searchable "table of contents," not a stack of PDFs

  • Maps of the venue, nearest hospital, and AED locations — saved to the device, so they work with no signal

  • Search any contact by name or role and call or text with one tap — no typing numbers under pressure

  • Push the picture of a lost child, or a BOLO, to every volunteer and officer on site in seconds

In Command

Build the plan once. Publish it everywhere.

  • Drag-and-drop plan builder with a library of best-practice templates — active shooter, hazmat, severe weather, PA scripts

  • Copy last year's plan and roster in one click instead of starting over for every event

  • Edits go out as push notifications the moment you publish — no reprints, no "did everyone get the new PDF?"

  • Collect incident reports and hotwash feedback straight to your inbox via Formstack or Google Forms

Log 04 — Inside An Event

One event. Everything in one place.

The Playbook content management platform lets venue owners, event managers, meeting planners, and consultants build once and publish everywhere — no PDFs, no reprints, no binder left in a supply closet.The Playbook content management platform lets venue owners, event managers, meeting planners, and consultants build once and publish everywhere — no PDFs, no reprints, no binder left in a supply closet.

Shamrock Shuffle 5K

Three steps. No consultants required.

Whether you're planning one event or maintaining the plan for a building your team runs every day, the path is the same.

01

Add your venue

A single building, an entire campus, or a portfolio of properties — add an address and Playbook gives you a clean view of every location and what's scheduled there.

02

Add your events

Board meetings, keynote sessions, a trade expo, race day — regardless of what you call it, Playbook keeps every plan organized under the venue it belongs to.

03

Build from templates

Drag-and-drop best practices from our library, or start from scratch. Publish, and the most current plan is already in everyone's pocket.

In the next 10 minutes, you could be done building your first plan. In Playbook, it's that simple.

Log 06 — What's Inside

Six things that make it stick.

Quick setup

Drag-and-drop a new plan together in minutes with pre-formatted templates and mobile-ready ICS forms your law enforcement partners already recognize.

Everything in one place

EAP, EOP, maps, and contacts live under one roof. Launch a video, an email, or a linked doc directly from the mobile app.

100% configurable

Type or paste your own content and Playbook formats it for phones and tablets automatically. Connects to Formstack, SignUp Genius, and Google Forms.

Critical communication

Send incident reports, hotwash feedback, and BOLOs straight to an inbox of your choice — no sheet of paper required.

Controlled distribution

You control every invite, revoke access anytime, and event content disappears from mobile devices three days after it ends.

Instant access

Search any name or role and call or text in one tap. Works from anywhere, with or without connectivity.

Log 07 — Adaptable For Anyone

Wherever people gather — for an afternoon or every day — someone needs a plan.

Log 08 — When Minutes Matter

"Weather emergencies may or may not happen. But if you manage an event, you're guaranteed to lose a child."— Race Director, Running USA Race Camp

Lost Child, built as a workflow, not a form.

Push a photo and description to every volunteer and law-enforcement officer on site in seconds — through the share sheet they already use, not a new app to learn.

No group text. No email chain. No minutes lost searching for the right number.

Log 09 — Real-World Use Cases

Three organizations. Three very different days.

Draft scenarios below, built from confirmed relationships and their own words — flag anything to correct, and send the real specifics (what happened, what changed) to replace the general framing with a sharper story.

Case — National Governing Body / Endurance Events

USA Track & Field

National championships bring dozens of agencies, hundreds of volunteers, and a security team accountable for all of them onto one course for one day. Playbook keeps the Emergency Operations Plan, course maps, and every agency's contacts in one place — current the moment something changes, not the moment someone remembers to resend the PDF.

"This is where critical event information needs to be — in the hands of the people who need it."

Lloyd Crowe

Chief Security Officer, USA Track & Field

Case — Law Enforcement / Dignitary Protection

Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department

Officers covering dignitary protection and special events rarely work the same venue twice. Instead of a briefing packet that's out of date before it's printed, Playbook puts the current plan, venue maps, and points of contact for that specific site on the phone they already have in their pocket.

"Playbook has exactly the information I need when working a new venue. Love the product."

Mike Mitchell

Dignitary Protection & Special Events, IMPD

Case — Meeting & Conference Industry

Meeting Professionals International

For an association whose members plan meetings for a living, safety and security has become table stakes, not an afterthought. Playbook gives meeting planners a fast, guided way to build a real safety plan for a venue or event — without hiring a consultant to do it.

"Safety and security is the number one concern of our membership."

Jack Mayberry

President, Meeting Professionals International (MPI)
