Emergency Preparedness at Wayne State University

Recent “Active Shooter” Incidents in the United States

• Virginia Tech Shootings – April 16, 2007 33 dead, 15 wounded and six injured jumping from second story classroom windows

• Aurora, Colorado Movie Theater Shootings - July 20, 2012 12 dead and 70 persons injured

• Sandy Hook Elementary School Shootings – December 14, 2012 26 dead (20 children and six adults) and 2 persons injured.

What about Weather Emergencies, Fires, other critical incidents at WSU – or in your own neighborhood?

Active Shooter or Armed Intruder Incident at WSU –

Wayne State's continued desire to create a safe and secure campus has lead us to create a comprehensive curriculum of training interventions designed to help our students, faculty and staff understand what to do if there is a shooter on our campus. The WSUPD developed, in 2008, the nations first comprehensive on-line training seminar:

“Be Prepared: Surviving an Active Shooter Incident”

While the individual modules of the Active Shooter on Campus curriculum are focused on college campus scenarios, the information provided can be applied and used in any active shooter incident, regardless of location, industry, or business sector.

Currently available on Blackboard for all WSU students and their families.

“Be Prepared” Learning Modules

1. Defining an Active Shooter Incident

2. How To Survive An Active Shooter Incident

3. Reporting the incident to Police

4. Helping the Injured – (Basic First Aid Measures)

5. Police Response – (What to Expect and Not Expect from the Officers)

6. Follow-up

Hostage Incidents vs. Active Shooter Incidents – Both are High Risk situations that

require a very different response to increase your survival chances
