Some strategies for preventing or minimizing potential damages caused by civil disobedience activities include carefully selecting the site of a protest to avoid damaging property, having an established exit strategy, engaging in dialogue with authorities and opponents, employing peaceful techniques such as prayer or meditation to de-escalate tension and building connections within the community. Law enforcement can be involved early on in the organizing process of civil disobedience activities to create a mutual understanding of expected behavior; local residents can also provide meaningful insight into what could become volatile areas. Finally, ensuring that those engaged in civil disobedience activities are educated on laws surrounding assembly and expression is an important safeguard for everyone involved.

Some strategies for preventing or minimizing potential damages caused by civil disobedience activities include avoiding blockingade sites, keeping crowds well behaved and unviolent, providing alternative routes or ways of accessing areas of protest, and enabling officers to maintain an open communication with activists throughout the demonstration. In addition, having emergency service planning teams who can help assess risks of crowd size and develop response plans in case protests turn violent should be considered. Finally, providing safe spaces for participants to channel their energy constructively before and after the event may help reduce potential damage caused by civil disobedience activities.
