主题：【求助】问一个关于游行示威的问题 -- 快刀123

The DC Emergency Management Agency (DCEMA) has the final word on special event planning in the Nation's Capital. According to the 1990 District of Columbia Special Event handbook of the DCEMA:

Special events are activities for which licenses and permits are required within the District of Columbia and where large numbers of persons may gather or participate. Such events may include parades, cultural programs, festivals, musical rock concerts, religious gatherings, block parties, community activities, and First Amendment Rights activities.

As an event planner, you are required to meet with the Special Events Task Group at least 60 days prior to your proposed event. Due to the large number of events held in Washington, DC, and the District's extensive regulations that govern event planning, you should contact the Task Force at least 120 days in advance of an event. For parades, demonstrations, and other permits controlled by the Metropolitan Police Department, you can initiate this notification by completing the appropriate forms (see below) and mailing them to the MPDC's Special Operations Division. Contact the DCEMA at (202) 727-3165.

At the Task Force meeting, you will be required to produce 12 copies of your plan of action and make a presentation covering the event. The Task Group consists of representatives from the following District of Columbia agencies:

* Department of Administrative Services

* Commission on the Arts and Humanities

* Office of the Chief Financial Officer/Office of Tax and Revenue

* DC Committee to Promote Washington

* Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs

* Emergency Management Agency

* Fire and Emergency Medical Services Department

* Department of Human Services

* Mayor's Office of Communications

* Metropolitan Police Department (Special Operations Division)

* Department of Parks and Recreation

* Department of Public Works

* Office of the Secretary

If the event involves the use of, or is in close proximity to, federal property, representatives from the National Park Service and other appropriate agencies of the US Government will be invited to participate in the Task Group.

Representatives from the following agencies and organizations may also be invited to participate in the Task Group:

* District of Columbia Chapter of the American Red Cross

* District of Columbia Armory

* District of Columbia Lottery and Charitable Games Control Board

* District of Columbia National Guard

* District of Columbia Public Schools

* Washington Convention Center

If you are still in doubt as to whether you proposed activity is a "special event" and exactly what is required, ask yourself the following questions:

1. Is the activity open to the public?

2. Are there any aspects of the activity that involve special features or additions such as music, amusements rides, pyrotechnics, etc.?

3. Does the activity require a temporary street closing?

4. Even if the activity will be held primarily on private space, will some aspects spill on to the public space?

5. Is there a remote chance that the safety and welfare of the participants and/or the residents of the District of Columbia may be affected if certain aspects of the activity are not properly constructed, installed, or handled -- for example, food, electrical wiring, booths, generators, propane?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, the activity is probably a special event and will require some type of permit.
