Hostile Vehicle Mitigation (HVM) - Vancouver Lapu Lapu Day Incident
The source is an excerpt from a security risk analysis by Musaab Fagiri for The Institute of Strategic Risk Management concerning The Vancouver Lapu Lapu Day Incident, a tragic vehicle-ramming attack that occurred on April 26, 2025. The analysis meticulously details the incident's synopsis, where a man with mental health issues drove into a crowd, resulting in numerous fatalities and injuries at a Filipino heritage festival. It subsequently examines the security posture and vulnerabilities exposed, particularly the failure to deploy robust Hostile Vehicle Mitigation (HVM) measures like certified barriers. The author concludes by offering actionable recommendations for event professionals, advocating for a shift to comprehensive vulnerability-based risk assessments and mandatory HVM to protect public gatherings against unpredictable attacks.
