ACTIVE SHOOTER PRESENTATION TO NEAR SOUTHWEST PREPAREDNESS ALLIANCE 2

HISTORY 1. Be careful what you ask for 2. Previous leadership and aJempts 3. Man of vision 4. Encouragement to perform 5. Woops. What now?

INITIAL MEETING • Invite your friends (who is invited to your party?) • Create an agenda • Admit ignorance • What do we want to gain from this? • Herd the cats

WHAT DID WE ACCOMPLISH? 1. Established that safety was the first and major goal 2. Determined type of event 3. Defined the players 4. Sent all out with the need to set their goals or objecXves 5. The playwright contracted for a play

THE NEXT 10 MONTHS 1. Unveil the play-no awards, but somewhat plausible… “It was a dark and stormy night” 2. Refine the goals for the actors 3. Assure the set is built 4. Confirm opening night is set 5. Hire plenty of stagehands

IT’S ALMOST SHOWTIME • Do we really need a water feature for the set? • We have a reporter in the midst • Did anyone remember the audience and the cue cards? • If we end up on the 11:00 news, will anyone sXll have a job? • Does everyone know their lines?

ONE WEEK TO GO • Make sure your props (intercom) are working • Do we have enough seats for the audience (safe rooms) • “The play's the thing wherein I'll catch the conscience of the king” • Is the marquee working?

RAISE THE CURTAIN • Cast is here and ready to go • Opening night jiJers • We didn’t plan for a soliloquy right there • The criXcs speak

WHAT DID WE LEARN? • You can’t plan too much • Safety is job one • Surround yourself with people smarter than you • Your plans and policies are not good if no one knows them • Your plans are no good if the components aren’t workable
