CISA Active Shooter

THIS IS NOT A TACTICAL TRAINING COURSE

This training webinar was created by the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to enhance awareness of, and response to, an active shooter incident.

Preparing employees for a potential active shooter incident is an integral component of an organization’s incident response planning. Because active shooter incidents are unpredictable and evolve quickly, preparing for and knowing what to do in an active shooter situation can be the difference between life and death. Every second counts.

The CISA Active Shooter Preparedness Webinar Video and accompanying Presentation Files (links below) were produced by CISA for the purpose of Active Shooter Preparedness Training and are continuously evaluated for accuracy and relevance. These resources have been released free of charge and are not intended for commercial resale. If the presentation is redistributed from another source, it may contain outdated information. Neither the Department of Homeland Security nor CISA will accept responsibility for actions taken based upon deprecated material.

These webinar materials are used by CISA qualified subject-matter experts as a visual reference to guide critical infrastructure owners and operators with a better understanding of developing an organization’s emergency action plan.
