I sent announcements early this month about Active Shooter Webinars in January

March, & April -- the sessions are filling-up fast- - so, register as soon as
possible!
Please share with the appropriate folks in your organization.
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, Region X (AK, ID, OR, WA)
invites you to join us for a two-hour security webinar to enhance awareness of
and response to an active shooter event.
Preparing employees for a potential active shooter incident is an integral
component of an organization's incident response planning. Because active
shooter incidents are unpredictable and evolve quickly, preparing for and
knowing what to do in an active shooter situation can be the difference between
life and death. Every second counts.
Objectives:
- Discuss the elements of active shooter incident response planning with
guidance from expert instructors.
- Describe common behaviors, conditions, and situations associated with active
shooter events.
- Discuss how to recognize potential workplace violence indicators.
- Provide information about best practices, communications protocols, and
resources that will assist stakeholders to develop or enhance their emergency
planning, preparedness, and response to active shooter incidents.
Understanding Liability and Risk Exposure
The webinar focuses on providing awareness training that supports the
development of emergency action planning capabilities. These capabilities may
better position organizations in receiving important legal liability
protections from the DHS Support Anti-Terrorism by Fostering Effective
Technologies (SAFETY) Act of 2002.
Following the 9/11 attacks, the private sector became very concerned about the
risk of liability they would face in the event their product, service, or
layered security program (e.g., Technology) was impacted by an act of
terrorism. The SAFETY Act seeks to mitigate those risks by encouraging the
wide-spread deployment of effective anti-terrorism technologies by providing
legal protections that cap or dismiss liability in the event of an act of
terrorism. To learn more about the SAFETY Act and the types of products,
services, and layered security programs that have received protections, visit
www.safetyact.gov<http://www.safetyact.gov>

- Private and public organizations
