***For Widest  Distribution*** 
The protection of the Nation’s  critical infrastructure from all-hazards 
threats is a shared responsibility  between the U.S. Department of Homeland 
Security (DHS) and the public and  private sector partners who own and operate 
vital assets and facilities.   The DHS National Protection and Programs 
Directorate’s Office of  Infrastructure Protection leads the Department’s 
efforts to strengthen public  and private sector operations by securing critical 
infrastructure and  assisting owners and operators to prepare for threats 
from all hazards,  including events like an active shooter. In light of the 
shooter event in  Aurora, Colorado this email is to serve as a reminder about 
the information,  products and training that is available. 
Online  Training 
DHS developed an online Independent Study Course titled  Active Shooter: 
What You Can Do.  This 45-minute course was  developed in consultation with 
the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center and  the Hospitality, 
Entertainment, and Tourism Security Council to provide  guidance on how to prevent and 
prepare for a potential active shooter  incident.  
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able  to: 
·          Describe the actions to take when confronted with an  active 
shooter and to assist responding law enforcement  officials; 
·          Recognize potential workplace violence  indicators; 
·          Describe actions to take to prevent and prepare for  potential 
active shooter incidents; and 
·          Explain how to manage the consequences of an active  shooter 
incident. 
The online training is available through the Federal Emergency  Management 
Agency Emergency Management Institute at 
_www.training.fema.gov/EMIWeb/IS/IS907.asp_ (http://www.training.fema.gov/EMIWeb/IS/IS907.asp) .   
Active Shooter  Resources 
DHS has also developed a booklet and poster, with  assistance from the 
Fairfax County Police Department of Virginia, the National  Retail Federation, 
and the Retail Industry Leaders Association, to assist  facilities owners and 
operators to prepare for and respond to an active  shooter incident. 
Topics covered in the “Active Shooter How to Respond”  booklet and poster 
includes: 
·          Profile of an active shooter;  
·          Practices for coping with an active shooter;   
·          How individuals should respond when an active shooter  enters 
their vicinity; 
·          How individuals should respond when law enforcement  arrives on 
the scene; 
·          Responsibilities of human resources departments and  facility 
managers in preparing for and managing an active shooter situation;  and 
·          Tips for recognizing signs of potential workplace  violence; and 
managing the consequences of an active shooter situation.   
Additional resource materials include the Active Shooter  Booklet, the 
Active Shooter Poster (English and Spanish), the Active Shooter  Pocket Card 
(English and Spanish), and the Active Shooter/Suicide Bomber  Awareness 
Bomb-Making Materials Awareness Program Card can be found at _www.dhs.gov/cfsector_ 
(http://www.dhs.gov/cfsector) .    
Webinars 
In September 2011, DHS hosted the Active Shooter  Awareness Virtual 
Roundtable, a Webinar designed to help private and  public sector partners 
understand the importance of developing an emergency  response plan and the need to 
train employees on how to respond if confronted  with an active shooter.  
An archived version of the Webinar, which includes  presentations from a 
former police officer and a behavioral psychologist, as  well as a video 
produced with assistance from the Federal Protective Service,  can be viewed on 
demand at _www.dhs.gov/files/programs/gc_1231165582452.shtm_ 
(http://www.dhs.gov/files/programs/gc_1231165582452.shtm) .   
Live  Workshops 
The Department and its partners host monthly day-long  workshop events, 
including presentations from law enforcement and behavioral  subject matter 
experts, guest speakers, and facilitated discussions.   Since the program’s 
inception in December 2008, nearly 4,000 people have  participated in DHS 
co-sponsored active shooter workshops.  Thirty  workshops have been scheduled for 
Fiscal Year 2012 in various cities across  the country.
