Active Threat Events

"The increasing frequency of active shooter incidents continues to drive the need for education and training programs in the United States to help prevent and improve response for these incidents.

The FBI defines an active shooter as “one or more individuals actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a populated area.” In 2021, 61 shootings were designated as active shooter incidents, resulting in 103 fatalities and 140 wounded (excluding the shooters), according to a 2022 FBI report. These incidents represent a 52.5% increase from 2020 and a 96.8% increase from 2017. In response to this alarming trend, FEMA developed several courses to help people and communities through training and education. Frank Zachar, a Management Analyst with FEMA’s Office of Counterterrorism and Security Preparedness, led the development of independent study course:

IS-907: Active Shooter: What You Can Do

All employees can help prevent and prepare for potential active shooter situations. This course provides guidance to individuals, including managers and employees, so that they can prepare to respond to an active shooter situation.

IS-905: Responding to an Active Shooter: You Can Make a Difference

This course focuses on reducing the likelihood of active shooter incidents in the workplace and is available through the Emergency Management Institute (EMI) Independent Study Program website." -FEMA TPP Times
