About the Topic

Run-Hide-Fight Active Shooter Preparedness Tranining

If you unexpectedly found yourself in the chaos of an active shooter or mass casualty
event, would you know what to do to survive?
 Can you safely escape?
 Is there a good place to hide?
 Will you attack the shooter?
This seminar will address those issues and much more. From the start, participants will
learn how to prepare before an incident takes place and learn the applications/options
of Run – Hide – Fight along with the “when, where & how” they can be realistically
applied. We then go beyond the options/concepts and explain what will happen to you
both mentally and physically in these types of situations and how to use them to your
advantage. And finally, no program would be complete without addressing last resort
options when it comes to defending yourself and others. Knowing how to Respond,
Assess, Protect; Identify Defenses during an active assailant assault could be the
difference in your survival.
