Welcome to Active Shooter Prevention: You Can Make a Difference! While active shooter and targeted violence incidents are quite rare, they are highly impactful. Being prepared to act can make all the difference. For this reason, many organizations, like your own, are taking actions to prepare their staff to prevent active shooter incidents in the workplace, as well as to effectively respond, should an attack occur. We all play a critical role and the choices you make will have lasting ramifications on you and those around you. This course focuses on the actions you can take to help reduce the likelihood of an active shooter incident in your workplace. While we can’t prevent these incidents 100% of the time, we can reduce the likelihood of an incident and prevent some incidents from occurring, thereby saving lives. During this course, we will share tools and perspectives you may use to reduce the likelihood of an active shooter incident by:

• Recognizing indicators associated with potential active shooters
• Identifying appropriate opportunities for intervention
• Fostering a connected and supportive work environment

Of course, it is also critical that you know how to effectively respond if an attack occurs, to increase the chance of saving your life and the lives of those around you. The complementary course, “Responding to an Active Shooter Incident: You Can Make a Difference,” provides critical information you need to make swifter and more informed decisions if you ever face an active shooter incident. Please visit the FEMA website for more information on that course.
