Hundreds of thousands of people are expected at Zilker Park for the ACL this year, but planning started a long time ago.
11:05 PM CDT October 3, 2023 is just days away, and with visitors coming from all over, safety is at the top of the mind for first responders.Zilker Park"Planning for next year's event starts as soon as this year's events are over," said Captain Darren Noak with Austin-Travis County EMS ."These sort of vehicles can get us in and around and to where we're needed a lot more efficiently and effectively, than those big ambulances that we have," Noak said.
"This year we will probably be at about 28 major music festivals across the country, passing out probably close to 30,000 individual kits," said Ingela Travers-Hayward, the Co-Founder of the nonprofit"This Must Be the Place." "We actually hand out a version that's eight milligrams," Travers-Hayward said."So it's sort of nice to be able to give this to someone and letting them know, look, you're going to be able to save this person's life."
