Priority must be given to preventing hostile, reactionary or criminal factors from disrupting the events, along with information and cyber security.

Efforts will also focus on crime suppression, increased patrols and controls, strict management of weapons, explosives, precursors and support tools, as well as ensuring fire prevention and firefighting, rescue and safety at celebration venues, delegate accommodations and service facilities.
