Active Threat Response Program

Original post from November 2018:
In this episode I share practices to help build an Active Threat Response Program. I walk the listener from concept to receiving approval and then to providing training. This approach worked for me and my colleagues as we trained over 1,000 first responders on how Emergency Communications, Law Enforcement, Fire and EMS can learn from each other and optimize response times and efficiencies to save lives. I share how to manage the effort as a project and how Emergency Management can and should play a key role in facilitating training, exercises, after action reviews and providing critical incident stress management (CISM) and other support to responders and families via a family assistance center (FAC).

Listen here!

Key concepts in the training include:

Protocols for Emergency Communications personnel to follow
First in Police duties
Fire/EMS Rescue Task Force concept
Triage, Treatment and Transport by EMS
Pulling it all together with Unified Command

“Run. Hide. Fight” guidance for civilians video from Ready Houston
