THIS IS NOT A TACTICAL TRAINING COURSE
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Region 1 (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont) invites you to participate in a two-hour security webinar designed to enhance your organization’s readiness and resilience in the event of an active shooter incident.
Preparing personnel for a potential active shooter situation is a critical component of organizational emergency and response planning. Because these incidents are often unpredictable and can escalate rapidly, understanding how to respond—and acting quickly—can save lives. Every second counts, and informed, practiced response strategies can make a meaningful difference during an emergency.
