Are You Prepared for an Active Shooter at Your Hospital?
Although hospital-based shootings are still rare, these deadly attacks can affect numerous lives. Since predicting these events is close to impossible, preparation is critical. Experts from the Department of Homeland Security, various law enforcement agencies, and the International Association of Healthcare Security and Safety have provided key recommendations in preparing an Emergency Action Plan for an active shooter event. Although these recommendations - which include conducting an assessment and preparing a safe hiding place - are geared towards hospitals, they are applicable for all healthcare facilities.
