When the unthinkable happens, facilities managers must be prepared to act quickly and rationally to promptly address the situation. One of these dire scenarios involves active shooters, which can turn deadly in a hurry.
In this video, Facilities Net interviews Glenn Norling, executive director of the community of experts at the Active Shooter Prevention Project, about what facilities managers can do to prepare their occupants for active shooters and how they can prevent such situations.
One area to focus on is proper training, whether that be done through active drills or tabletop exercises.

That way staff are ready to respond and protect themselves or other occupants.
