Anyone making the trek to Moncton this evening to see AC/DC shouldn’t worry about medical services. Regional Health Authority B will be sending a team to take care of all medical needs.A primary emergency medical building, along with two tents will be positioned on the perimeter of the site, which will provide a spacious, less noisy, dry, well equipped space for medical treatment. Paramedics will also be patrolling the crowd at Magnetic Hill to help people with minor injuries or illness.
The Health Authority is also providing a list of tips for those about to rock:
Monitor the weather forecast closely and plan accordingly, but remember this is the Maritimes and the weather can change quickly and drastically.
Prepare for both hot and cooler temperatures, and rainy weather. Bring layers of clothing that provides good insulation and keeps moisture away from the skin.
Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Dehydration can occur quickly in hot and humid weather. Each concert goer can bring a 1 Litre of bottle of water into the concert but remember to bring fluids to drink while waiting for the gates to open.
Protect yourself from sun exposure by wearing a hat, sunglasses and applying sunscreen regularly. Wear light-coloured, breathable clothing and move into the shade when possible.
Wear comfortable shoes as concert goers will be walking and standing for long periods of time. Also consider the terrain you will be walking on at the site.
Use common sense, listen to your body and respond appropriately. Drink responsibly and prepare for a safe ride home.
Remember to assign a meeting spot with your group early on to ensure no one gets lost during or at the end of the concert. Remember to eat to avoid becoming weak. And most importantly have fun!
