One thing I've found helpful is to insist on providing an alternative power supply for sound equipment. Always have back up plans; have the equipment plugged to a UPS and have a generator on standby

Begin in pre-production. Plan what can go wrong, hire talented keys and staff, plan redundancy and split your power distribution. Test on-site what-if scenarios and backup plans. Have enough staff to cover the event and avoid overloading staff with multiple duties, if an emergency happens, staff can address the issue within their command from equipment back to source to easily diagnose the issue and make the needed fix while others maintain their duties. Have an effective hierarchical structure and communication plan. Keep clients from needing to be concerned. If for some reason there is still an uncontrollable catastrophic occurance, be honest with with performers, the client and audience to create the best possible fall back together.

When it comes to an emergency. You work like a team. Make sure your client knows there is a situation which the team is addressing and see if the client can help with delaying the event. There should be someone with the client responsible for other departments and make sure this situation won't affect or cause delay in audio or video.

Reallocate resources to enhance the audio experience, using clear soundscapes and engaging narration to captivate attendees. Communicate the issue transparently and highlight the event’s other strong points to maintain attendee satisfaction.

Back up generators are a must these days and have been since I’ve been in the game. Commentators, hosts and presenters also have to be professional and encyclopedic. It’s part of the deal you sign up for. Sometimes you have to wing it. The really good ones I’ve worked with have no problem with it and actually thrive when audio, or connectivity is an issue.

Nothing beats preparation. Redundancy matters. Backup is essential. Ask ALL the questions of the venue. Insist on a tech rider, and speak directly and repeatedly with the technical supervisor. Allow for plenty of tech time prior to the event, and also tech the backup system. Share all information with venue team, your team, talent, so that everyone knows what the process is for success.

Make sure you keep your proper and efficient power backup during any sudden lighting emergency in an event. Some events do need bigger supply of power on the other hand some can be managed by small power supply by the electric unit. Generators are the best to keep your event lighting go smoothly during whole event.

One thing I have always believed in is in providing and having your own source of power. A back up generator is must for us for premium delivery

You must have a contingency, if that means pulling all the attendees inside to a cosy room to be totally unplugged (if capacity allows of course ) then so be it.. I know as an attendee and as a performer that I actually enjoy either performing fully acoustically or attending a fully acoustic event where everyone has no option but to be silent and listen to the artist. I actually enjoy when things don’t go to plan sometimes, as our organisational or performance skills really have to come into play..
