NFPA 3000 / Active Shooter
Let’s Discuss NFPA 3000 - A Holistic APPROACH
Lunchtime meeting (see Venue information below)
“Let’s Discuss NFPA 3000 - A Holistic Approach,” offers an overview of the world’s first active shooter / hostile event standard with guidance on whole community planning, response, and recovery.
Nationwide and around the globe, communities are facing an increasing number of tragedies involving active shooter and hostile events. “According to the most recent FBI statistics, there were 250 active shooter incidents in the United States from 2000 to 2017 with 2,217 casualties, including 799 killed and 1,418 wounded,” says Smith. “The need for an integrated approach to preparedness, response, and recovery from an active shooter or hostile event is more important than ever before.”
NFPA 3000 helps protect communities and identify the minimum program elements needed to organize, manage, and sustain an active shooter or hostile event program and to reduce or eliminate the risk, effects, and impact on an organization or community affected by these events.
During this presentation we will take a look at how a holistic approach will provide the best results in all three areas. We will focus on the lessons learned from several of the latest events to develop realistic plans and response expectations. While there is no easy answer to this complex issue, there are things we can do to better prepare facilities, responders, and the community for such events.
The presentation includes:
- Prevention, early identification and help / treatment
- Personal responsibility for the public, facility, and responder
- Effective protection plans that meet NFPA 101
- Realistic response plans and training
- Recovery after an event
Released in May 2018, NFPA 3000 was developed to address the need for greater preparedness for active shooter and hostile events. The Standard was created with the input from a diverse technical committee of 46 members with representatives from law enforcement, the fire service, emergency medical services, hospitals, emergency management, private security, private businesses, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the U.S. Department of Justice and more.
“The proactive, integrated strategies recommended and defined in NFPA 3000 will go a long way in helping communities plan, respond and recover from active shooter and hostile events,” says NFPA President and CEO Jim Pauley.
The presentation will be provided by Telgian Engineering & Consulting's Senior Hazardous Materials Consultant and Cobb County Fire and Emergency Services Battalion Chief Kyle Smith, CFPS. With nearly 20 years experience in the Metro Atlanta area Cobb County Emergency Services, as well as principle experience in conducting active shooter planning sessions and drills at large facilities such as the new Atlanta Braves SunTrust Park stadium, Chief Smith will provide a unique perspective supporting a holistic approach during this overview of NFPA 3000.
