IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY PLEASE CALL 911.
We work with Grand Junction Police and other various security departments to create the safest possible environment for you. Police officers are on site for your safety, so please do not hesitate to ask them for assistance if you feel unsafe.
We want every guest attending Country Jam to feel safe and know we are here to protect you. Below you will find general guidelines on how you can help, and how we are working to make this year the safest year yet!
BE PREPARED
- Have a list of emergency contact info, allergies and medications on your person in case our emergency team needs to know!
- REGISTER YOUR WRISTBAND! This process will actually ask you for your name and your emergency contact information, so that it is linked to you at all times!
- Mother nature can be unpredictable! Though we will be monitoring the weather at all times, to prepare, it’s important that you check the weather right before leaving for the event. This way you can be prepared with rain gear, warm clothes, or anything else you may need to be comfortable in the case of unpleasant weather!
- Stay hydrated and be prepared for sun! It can get very hot in June at Country Jam, make sure you have plenty of sunscreen and a good plan for having water near you at all times! (Remember empty camelbacks and plastic water bottles are allowed in, bring them and take advantage of our water fill stations located on the map!)
HOW YOU CAN HELP
- IF YOU SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING. Whether it’s someone looking ill, an unruly guest, or something that seems suspicious – Grab the nearest police officer, security or staff member for immediate assistance! You can also text us at CJAMHELP at 24587 from 9 AM to 9 PM.
- Take a moment to look over the map, locate all medical tents and emergency exits so you know the quickest way to safety in an emergency!
- Be considerate of those around you! There are a lot of people attending and all for one reason — TO HAVE FUN! Let’s make Country Jam enjoyable for everyone!
IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
- STAY CALM! There are teams available to help and plans in place in case of emergency. Keep you and others around you calm and listen to any instructions given to you by an emergency responder or security officer.
- Follow the emergency exit signs. Please take a moment to review the map and look for the emergency exits. These exits will also be marked with signs in the venue, so take a moment once you enter to make yourself familiar with their locations in the event of an evacuation.
