DHS Active Shooter Preparedness Workshop - Orlando, FL

THIS IS NOT A TACTICAL TRAINING COURSE

A Unique Training Opportunity

This workshop is presented in coordination with the Central Florida Domestic Security Task Force.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Office of Infrastructure Protection seeks to enhance preparedness through a "whole community" approach. This approach supports our stakeholders' efforts to plan, prepare, and mitigate risk from a potential active shooter incident.

Workshop goals include recognition, prevention, and preparedness training for active shooter incidents with an emphasis on emergency action plan development. Following the National Preparedness Mission Areas and Federal Emergency Management Agency's Comprehensive Preparedness Guidance, expert instructors utilize slide presentations, training videos, and facilitated discussions to share information on how to structure and develop an emergency action plan utilizing best practices. Upon completion of the workshop, participants will return to their organization with the initial elements of an active shooter emergency action plan.
