Surviving an Active Shooter Incident

Active Shooter Training Increases Awareness, Enhance Preparedness, and Keep Your Employees Safe.

You are ready to provide the safest possible environment for your employees. You’ve come to the right place.

Your team faces a vast array of situations both at the workplace and off the job. You want them to be as prepared as possible. Give them up-to-date information and hands-on experience for an event that is unpredictable, unfolds quickly and one in which fast decisions and actions save lives. When your team feels energized and empowered, they are more productive, focussed and present.

From Columbine to the Clackamas Town Center, Sandy Hook and Umpqua Community College, the FBI reports Active Shooter incidents are on the rise. Training for such a situation, one of the worst case scenarios imaginable, is important because knowing what to do and making fast decisions save lives.

This workshop is a simple one hour presentation.

Include an extra hour to practicing the fighting component which, after discussion of such a serious and awful topic is both cathartic and practical.

Silvia can work with your whole group or consult directly with your safety team.

Investment: $425/hour in-person and $395/hour on Zoom – 2 hour minimum (1/2 due upfront to hold your date)

Travel: 20 miles beyond the Portland Metro Area, add $150 per hour of drive-time. Negotiate directly with Silvia for national and international travel.

This workshop covers:

BACKGROUND & HISTORY:

Learn about Active Shooter Incidents in the US which put our current day situation in context. Time for questions and discussion give your team the space to process our changing landscape.

RUN, HIDE, FIGHT:

Learn the specifics about the strategic response developed by the FBI. This allows your team to breathe a little more freely knowing they have the most up-to-date information to survive an active shooter situation.
