Published online by Cambridge University Press:  28 June 2012

Abstract

A European Union (EU) Summit in Göteborg, Sweden, was held 15–16 June 2001. This meeting presented various security and medical concerns to city officials. In preparation for a large meeting such as the EU Summit, a plan should be established that includes basic facts, management organization, and guidelines. Clear communication beteween city agencies also must be established. Hospital inventories should be recorded daily and reported to medical staff. A command center must be in place for police and medical command. An emergency medical provider should ride in each police vehicle, so in case of a riot situation, victims can be treated quickly. An information officer should be assigned with the task of providing information regarding the injured to the media.
