Security Vulnerability Assessments
Before any viable improvements can be made, it is critical to know where the “chinks in the armor” exist. An SVA identifies three critical factors: 1). What are the threats faced, 2) where are the opportunities that would allow an event to occur, and 3) what are the potential outcomes if an event occurs. All improvements start with an SVA.

Senior living communities know that they are not immune to this threat, yet most do not have plans or training to guide their responses to save lives should this occur.
