Exercise and Drill Options • Stacey Rosenberger, MPH, Emergency Planner
Tabletop Administrative Staff Tabletop Customize scenario exercise to work space/location Discuss specific actions that staff will take and why they chose their course of action Can cover multiple scenarios • Helps you evaluate your polices and plans in a low stress environment • Identity administrative actions that need to be taken
Walk-Through • Allows staff and supervisors to walk through their work space and identify: • Closest exits • Hiding/Safe Space Rooms • Discuss lockdown of building • Communication with each other • Weapons available in workspace • Issues • Door doesn’t lock/window doesn’t open
What drill will you choose? Large Small
Drill What does it entail? Why does it work? Designed to be done during normal work hours Minimal interruption to work flow Allows supervisors and managers to run drills at convenient times Get ALL staff involved in drills Capture feedback from staff • Use a cowbell or some other sound to indicate gun shots • Assign someone to be active shooter • “Assigned shooter” walks calmly around work are for 2 minutes allowing staff to react based on the location of the “shooter”
Drill Considerations • What will your drill focus on? • Run • Hide • Fight • Or all three? • Where will you conduct your drill?
Inform and train your staff in advance of an exercise • This is not a time for a no notice drill • Allow staff to “opt out” if the drill is too stressful for them
