The Rangers are dedicated to ensuring event participants are safe and having a good time. This involves a wide range of activities such as:

• Non-violent communication to de-escalate volatile interactions (ie. break-up fights without using force)
• Promoting venue specific codes of conduct
• Encouraging participants to respect the 10 principles of Burning Man
• First responders to any emergency situation
• Peer Support for participants in crisis (emotional, mental, physical).
