Products designed to keep schools and workplaces safe include gun detectors guided by artificial intelligence, bulletproof tables and automatically locking doors.
If you ignore the bits about police helping the situation, it’s not bad. In summary, it says stay calm, understand what is going on and act accordingly.
In all seriousness, luck favors the prepared. A situation could be about active shooters, tornadoes, hurricanes, floods or fires. I don’t care which. Take 2 seconds to look at the place you are at now and think about what you would do in an emergency. What is the quickest escape? Where could you hide? Where are others in relation to where you are at? Most of all, understand what emergencies you are likely to experience.
If survival requires tools (medical kits, weapons, communication stuffs, etc…) get proper training on those tools. Just being familiar with what is in a first aid kit is extremely valuable. As an example, did you know those cheap medical scissors in first aid kits can cut small coins in half? It’s good to know if you have to cut off a ring or something metal of similar thickness. Know your tools.
There are a ton of guides and classes around for triage training or even just first aid and CPR. Some are even free.
I don’t want to get into a political discussion around this, but if you have firearms for self-defense, practice with them on a regular basis. Tomorrow, I’ll be shooting a minimum of 500 rounds at my range, as an example. And no, it’s not for fun and will take actual work. It’s what needs to be done so if I have to fire my gun in anger, it will be with calculated purpose and with the fewest shots needed for a situation. Remember: Pepper spray and tasers are weapons too. You must learn how to use those effectively and that takes at least a little practice.
Also no. I am not some kind of weirdo “prepper”. I have a minimal amount of supplies in my house at all times to last at least 3 days without power and and that is about it. Think ahead a little and that could meen the difference in life or death for you or someone else.
It kinda pisses me off that we live in a world where I even need to plan for emergencies like active shooters, but yet, here I am. Until we solve problems like that, plan ahead.
Corporations are making more money as everyone suffers? Everything according to the plan then.
There is absolutely no other way to solve this problem, only the free market can help. /s
Here is a pdf from DHS that has some recommendations for free.
