Class Date(s) and Time(s): 8:00am-5:00pm, Saturday the 11th of January
Course Length: 4 hours
Course Instructors:
Course Price: $50 Per Student
**Maximum
**Lunch: Please pack a sack lunch that can be eaten on site, and drinks for the full day. Due to time constraints
we want to take full advantage of the day and utilize as much hands-on time as possible.
Audience: Firefighters, EMS personnel, law enforcement, emergency managers, and hospital staff.
Learning Objectives:
1. Understand the dynamics of active shooter incidents and mass casualty situations.
2. Learn the roles and responsibilities of first responders in these scenarios.
3. Develop effective triage and treatment strategies in chaotic environments.
4. Enhance inter-agency communication and coordination.
5. Practice decision-making under pressure through realistic simulations.
Agenda:
1. Introduction (30 minutes)
• Overview of active shooter incidents and mass casualty statistics.
• Discussion of psychological impacts on responders and victims.
• Review of relevant case studies.
2. The Unified Response Framework (30 minutes)

• Scenario includes active shooter elements with multiple casualties.
• Focus on triage, treatment, and coordinated response.
7. Debrief and Q&A (30 minutes)
