Emergency Response Fall 2015

SLIDE 2

Agenda

• Roles & Responsibilities
• Evacuation
• Shelter in Place
• Defend in Place
• Next Steps

SLIDE 3

Roles & Responsibilities

• Your primary responsibility is to help yourself during an

emergency

• You can help others as long as that does not jeopardize your

safety

• Know your Classroom, Building, Campus
• At least 2 ways In/Out
• Situational Awareness
• It’s knowing what’s going on around you!

SLIDE 4

Response to Emergency Situations

Use of three basic protocols to respond to emergency situations:

• Evacuation => Fire/Smoke/Earthquake
• Shelter in Place => Environmental Hazards/Tornado
• Defend in Place => Violent Act - Shooter/Hostage

Codified response in three easy to remember steps so that everyone can memorize them and know what to do in case of an emergency.

SLIDE 5

Evacuation

Fire/Smoke/Earthquake -- DRILL this fall

• Fire/Smoke notification will typically be via the fire alarm and Emergency

personnel.

• Assist in alerting others in the vicinity, but do not jeopardize your safety or that
• f others.
• If applicable, assist disabled to evacuation areas. DO NOT use Elevators.
• Leave the building immediately through nearest EXIT and Stairways --

unless it’s an earthquake where you need to shelter in place (under a desk if possible) until the earthquake is over and then evacuate.

• Proceed to an Assembly Area that’s at least 300 feet away.
• DO NOT re-enter the buildings under any circumstance until informed that it is

safe to do so.

SLIDE 6

Fire

• Activate the nearest fire alarm.
• Call DPS @ 202-662-9325

State: (Your name) calling from location of fire (building name, room #)

• Calmly alert people in the

building and evacuate the building by following EXIT signs.

• Do not use elevators, keep to

the right, walk-do-not-run, remain calm, but take immediate action.

• Feel closed doors before
• pening

SLIDE 7

Shelter in Place Environmental Hazards/Tornado

• Notification via HOYAlert, Email Broadcast, Campus Alert and

Emergency personnel.

• Assist in alerting others in the vicinity, but do not jeopardize your safety
• r that of others.
• Close all doors and windows to the outside if possible.
• In case of a Tornado, move to Safety Areas: basements, interior rooms

& halls away from glass.

• Remain alert for further instructions and updates.

SLIDE 8

Active Shooter on campus

PROFILE OF AN ACTIVE SHOOTER An Active Shooter is an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area.

• Between 1909-2012 there were

In most cases, active shooters use

272 acts of targeted violence on

firearms and there is no pattern or

219 college and university

method to their selection of victims.

campuses throughout the US and 245 injuries.

• The average duration of an IHE

active shooter incident is 12.5

• minutes. The average response

time of campus and local law enforcement is 18 minutes.

SLIDE 9

Active Shooter on campus

FBI Study of Active Shooter Incidents

The FBI analyzed 154 active shooter events in the United States between 2002 and 2012 (to date) that included three or more individuals being shot.

• 43% committed suicide and 8 percent

were shot and killed by responders.

• 45% of active shooters were arrested

and 4% remain unidentified.

• A clear motivation was never determined

in 40% of cases analyzed; however, the most common identified motivations were found to be workplace retaliation (21%), domestic disputes (14%) and academic retaliation by a current or former student (7 percent).

SLIDE 10

Active Shooter on campus

FBI Study of Active Shooter Incidents

• The shooter was male in 96% of cases
• analyzed. The shooter acted alone 96%
• f the time.
• Active shooter events most

commonly occurred in a workplace environment (37%) or academic setting (17%)

• Many active shooters were described as

social isolates, harbored feelings of hate and anger, and/or had some reported contact with mental health professionals.

• Mental illness is commonly referenced

as a potential contributing factor, but its causal impact on the attack can only be speculated.

Very few active shooters had previous arrests for violent crimes.

Common catalysts

• r

triggers

• bserved include: loss of significant

relationships, changes in financial status, loss of a job, changes in living arrangements, major adverse changes to life circumstances rejection and/or feelings

• f

humiliation .

SLIDE 11

Active Shooter on campus

• Active shooter situations are

unpredictable and evolve quickly. Typically, the immediate deployment of law enforcement is required to stop the shooting and mitigate harm to victims.

• Because active shooter situations

are often over within 10 to 15 minutes, before law enforcement arrives on the scene, individuals must be prepared both mentally and physically to deal with an active shooter situation.

SLIDE 12

Active Shooter Scenarios

You’re In McD200

1.NOT on campus (Shooter last seen at the DHS building) 2.NOT in your building – (Shooter last seen at 5th floor Hotung) 3.IN your building: You CANNOT see or hear shooter

(Shooter last seen at ground floor of McD)

4.IN your building: You CAN see or hear shooter

(Shooter last seen in the 2nd floor lobby of McD)

• 5. KEEP EVACUATION AS AN OPTION.

20 % OF ACTIVE SHOOTER INCIDENTS ARE MOBILE. * The Washington Navy Yard & the recent shooting at Ft. Hood are good examples.

SLIDE 13

This presentation is based on current best practices*. These scenarios are meant to offer you food for thought and better prepare you in dealing with an Active Shooter situation. At the end of the day, you need to decide whether to RUN, HIDE, FIGHT depending on the situation. Active Shooter Scenarios

* White House released guide for High-Quality Emergency Operations Plans for Institutions of Higher Education – June 2013

SLIDE 14

Communications

Active Shooter/Hostage

Notification will be via:

• HOYAlert
• Bullhorn
• Campus Alert (Use of Informacast)
• Emergency personnel

If observing a life threatening incident on campus call 911.

(Use of classroom phone speed-dial for Public Safety)

SLIDE 15

• f emergency personnel.
• Let family and friends know that you’re unharmed once in a

safe location – text if possible

SLIDE 17

Scenario 2: On Campus: NOT in your building

HIDE

COVER & CONCEALMENT:

• Avoid open areas and seek shelter in a secure room with locking door if possible.
• Remain inside, close and lock all doors, windows and blinds.
• Turn off lights and move out of sight away from all doors and windows to interior walls.
• Remain quiet, turn off radios, and turn cell phones to vibrate but remain alert for

further instructions and updates.

SLIDE 18

Scenario 3: IN Your Building: You CANNOT See or Hear Shooter

RUN: If it is safe to do so, the first course of action that should be taken is to run

• ut of the building and move far away until you are in a safe location.

SLIDE 19

Scenario 3: IN Your Building: You CANNOT See or Hear Shooter

• DO NOT signal an evacuation using the fire alarm
• Cover and conceal while running away from the building
• Immediately move to another building & take protective cover
• Call 911 if you haven’t done already
• If police are already on the scene, keep your hands in plain sight

SLIDE 20

Scenario 4: IN Your Building: You CAN See or Hear Shooter

HIDE: Avoid open areas and seek shelter in a secure room with locking door if possible.

• Remain inside, close and lock all doors, windows and blinds.
• Turn off lights and move out of sight away from all doors and

windows to interior walls.

• Remain quiet, turn off radios, and turn cell phones to vibrate but

remain alert for further instructions and updates.

• Barricade yourselves in the case where the door does not lock.

SLIDE 21

If you can’t lock, you can barricade if your furniture can be moved. If you can’t lock and can’t barricade, consider moving to a more secure location.

HIDING IN A CLASSROOM

NOT all classrooms are configured the same!!! Depending on your location, the classroom:

• Can be locked from the Inside
• Can’t be locked from the Inside:
• Open towards the classroom
• Open towards the hallway
• One entrance or multiple entrances
• Furniture can/can’t be moved

Remember your training: RUN, HIDE, FIGHT depending on your situation.

SLIDE 22

Active Shooter on campus – All scenarios

FIGHT

If neither running nor hiding is a safe option, as a last resort when confronted by the shooter, adults in immediate danger should consider trying to disrupt or incapacitate the shooter by using aggressive force and items in their environment.

SLIDE 23

Some active shooter situations can be prevented or reduced in impact!

• If you hear or see something-say something!
• Gunfire in buildings sounds like a balloon popping, a

pounding hammer or construction noise.

• VA TECH – Chain on Doors
• Shooter in Mall -- Put on a Hockey mask before

shooting

• Sometimes shooters tell people or give indications

to their plans before the shooting IF YOU HEAR/SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING

SLIDE 24

Active Shooter on campus

KNOW YOUR SPACE

• How many doors? Windows?
• Do they lock?
• From inside/outside?
• Is there anything you can use to

barricade the door?

• Is there anything you can use as a

weapon?

• Do you have the LIVESAFE

application on your phone?

SLIDE 25

Active Shooter on campus

KNOW YOUR BUILDING

• AT LEAST 2 WAYS IN/OUT

SITUATIONAL AWARENESS

• IT’S KNOWING WHAT IS GOING

ON AROUND YOU! WE’RE IN ALL THIS TOGETHER

• Encourage you to take the 45 minute

FEMA online course on Active Shooter.

• Know your building.
• Know your office.
• Remember your options:

RUN, HIDE, FIGHT

SLIDE 26

Final Thought on Active Shooter

SLIDE 31

Remember…

• Practice Situational Awareness – earphones and texting while

walking make you oblivious to life safety concerns in your immediate area

• Sign up for HOYAlert
• Install LIVESAFE application
• Complete the DHS online Active Shooter training
• Know your campus and at least two different ways out of each

building

• Attend campus emergency management awareness sessions

Remember your training: RUN, HIDE, FIGHT depending on your situation.

SLIDE 32

In a crisis situation, you will revert back to your training and prior experience. If you do not have either, your decision making will be flawed.
