Surviving an Active Shooter

Active shooter incidents are often unpredictable and evolve quickly. In the midst of the chaos, anyone can play an integral role in mitigating the impacts of an active shooter incident. Please review our resources to better understand what you can do to prevent and mitigate active shooter scenarios.

Plan. Prepare. Act.

If involved in an active shooter situation, you must be prepared both mentally and physically. Will you know what to do?

In many cases, there is no pattern or method to the selection of victims by an active shooter, and these situations are, by their very nature, unpredictable and evolve quickly. Resources such as the flyer below, or the training we offer, raise awareness of the indicators of an active shooter incident and how to respond.
