Henderson County orders festivals to draft emergency plans
Henderson County commissioners approved a land development code amendment requiring festival organizers of events over 500 people to draft detailed emergency, traffic, and response plans. The measure, backed by sheriff and EMS officials, faced opposition from Commissioner Michael Edney who called it unconstitutional. Neighbors cited past festival traffic and safety issues, including a death, prompting proactive planning with planners, law enforcement, health, fire, and rescue agencies.
