Create a state of preparedness. Is your workplace ready for an unforeseen emergency, whether environmental, accidental, or hostile? Does your Emergency Operations Plan cover all it needs to cover?
Define critical terminology and concepts specific to an armed shooter/active intruder within your workplace. Specifically, is the event a focused and limited single-target event or a broad, facility-wide continuous event? Your team must understand how one type of incident can morph into another.
