As global anticipation builds for the FIFA 2026 World Cup—with 48 national teams competing across 16 host cities in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico—public safety leaders must ask:
Is your city, stadium, and Emergency Operations Center (EOC) truly ready?
Activu, and our platform, visability, are already helping EOCs, Fire Departments, Police, and Transportation Management Centers prepare for high-risk, high-visibility events. Our technology is also supporting a leading Global Sports League in real-time event management and incident response.
From crowd euphoria to public unrest, sporting events are known for emotional surges that can turn dangerous fast. That’s why Emergency Operations Center Design and strategy are evolving—with smarter infrastructure and advanced video wall systems—to handle modern threats. Consider these sobering examples of the kinds of risks involved.
