DHS Active Shooter Preparedness Workshop

THIS IS NOT A TACTICAL TRAINING COURSE
Given today's ever-changing threat environment, preparing for and training employees to cope with active threats and workplace violence should be a key piece of an organization's emergency action plan.

A Unique Training Opportunity:

Educating participants on the history of active shooter events; 
Describing common behavior, conditions, and situations associated with active shooters; and
Fostering communication between critical infrastructure owners and operators and local emergency response teams. This course includes discussions of interoperability, communications protocols, and best practices for planning, preparedness, and response.

Building Emergency Planning Capabilities:
The event will also describe how to incorporate key elements of successful incident management into planning efforts including:
Communication and Incident Planning for employees;
Emergency Action Plan Development;
Recognizing Behavioral Indicators; and
