Here's a rough snapshot of what that looks like:They pay a metric ass-load of money in filming permits; they have a detailed plan of what they're going to and the precautions they're going to take to avoid injuring people or damaging property, and they pay to repair any damage that does occur, promptly; the practical FX and Stunts departments do tests in a controlled location to be sure that there will be no surprises on the day; they have a Locations department that makes sure the location is returned to the same state as before filming, or better; they pay to have police, fire and ambulance (as necessary) on holiday rate standing by; and they dump an enormous ammount of money into local businesses, because the timelines are so fast that you HAVE to buy local; and the whole thing is backed up by some solid insurance policies.
