Travis Scott is working with government and public safety officials to establish guidelines to ensure another tragedy like the one at the Astroworld Music Festival never happens again. Scott was performing at the Houston, Texas festival in November when a crowd surge resulted in the deaths of ten people in the packed outdoor area and left hundreds more with injuries. Now, a source confirmed to Fox News Digital that the rapper is working with the United States Conference of Mayors (USCM) to put together a team to find vulnerabilities and subsequent solutions to how concerts are held across the country. Scott is using his position in the industry to bring together key stakeholders from government, public safety, emergency response, health care, event management, music and technology to establish clear guidelines that can be distributed to cities across the nation that will address potential safety issues and how to prevent another Astroworld Festival tragedy from ever happening again. The USMC was established 90 years ago and acts as a nonpartisan group representing all cities in the U.S. with a population of 30,000 or more. The source reports that the USMC plans to convene “a representative and knowledgeable working group of leaders across the industry and local government over the course of the next six months to create a comprehensive report complete with recommendations to help ensure festival safety and security going forward.
