During the course, participants will discuss the three primary tenets of the response paradigm, evaluate how the paradigm can be incorporated into existing building emergency action plans, complete a practical exercise in which they will demonstrate the response options, and become familiar with notable case studies in which the response options were either implemented or could have been implemented to prevent or mitigate the attacks. The course includes lectures, group discussions, and practical applications of course material, seeking to prepare the target audience for an active threat incident by providing participants with plausible and practical response options.
