Active Shooter Response Training

About

The UM Office of Emergency Management regularly conducts virtual Active Shooter Response Training with the University Community. The course is 1 hour and 15 minutes in length and consists of a presentation, discussion, and online group activities that incorporate the latest Department of Homeland Security guidance on best practice responses for those who encounter active shooter situations.

The course takes a holistic approach to mitigating active shooter incidents and covers awareness, avoidance, and appropriate actions for response and reporting of concerning behaviors prior to an incident ever taking place. In addition, expert instructors discuss how to respond, what to look for, and how to prepare yourself to survive an active shooter event if you are in the area or nearby when it occurs. Finally, the course concludes with covering law enforcement’s and the University’s response to various potentially dangerous situations including an active shooter or any mass- casualty event. Topics include: the Emergency Notification Network (ENN) Alerts, interacting with first responders, personal preparedness, and other initiatives of the University designed to keep our Students, Staff, and Faculty as safe as possible.

Once you are registered, you will receive a reminder email and Zoom link for the training session. A web camera and microphone capability are strongly preferred to promote interactivity but not required.

Closed sessions are also available for specific groups, buildings, or departments (with a minimum class size of 15), and may be scheduled at whatever date/time best accommodates the participants. Please contact the Office of Emergency Management at oem@miami.edu if you are interested in booking a class for a specific group.
