Preparing for the Unthinkable: An Active Shooting in a School
This presentation will address the range of things that can be done to prevent an active shooter event and respond to one that occurs.
Overview:
An active shooter event can occur anywhere; not just in schools. What are the things you can and should do in each of the four phases of a crisis (i.e., prevent/deter, respond, mitigate and recover)? Complicating the issue is the fact that different individuals in your institution have different goals and these goals may vary over time. For instance, a school’s PIO is worried about reputation, the school attorney worries about liability, facilities worry about the restoration of services, the registrar thinks about whether enrollment will drop and the financial officer worries about whether refunds will be needed to students who missed classes.
This free webinar will address the range of things that can be done to prevent an active shooter event and respond to one that occurs.
