Beyond ‘Run, Hide, Fight’: What to Do in an Active-Shooter Situation
Creating a “what if?” escape plan can save seconds, even minutes in an emergency. Take the “run.” Do you know where the various exits and access points are in your workplace? If elevators are shut off, would you know how to get downstairs? If a colleague is in a wheelchair, or is older and might need assistance, who is ready to help them? “Those little things matter,” Buckner said.
Global Guardian founder and CEO Dale Buckner, in a new article in The Wall Street Journal, shared his perspective on what to do during an active shooter situation. Following the devastating mass shooting at 345 Park Avenue in New York, it's crucial for everyone to understand the latest tactics and training in case of an emergency.
