DON Active Shooter

Active Shooter situations are unpredictable and evolve quickly. Because the situations are often over within ten to fifteen minutes, and prior to law enforcement arriving, individuals must be prepared both mentally and physically to deal with an Active Shooter situation. Some questions to ask yourself are: How would I describe an Active Shooter incident?; What actions will the emergency responders take to neutralize the threat and treat the wounded?; What actions should I take to ensure my safety and the safety of others around me?; What information can I recall to assist in the investigation process or identify the suspect?; How can I assist the Command in planning for an extreme event like an Active Shooter?; How can I prepare myself, my coworkers, and my family to react properly to an Active Shooter situation?
