Given the recent headlines from Jason Rodriguez, personnel or ex-personnel committing murders by gunning down fellow employees, how can your emergency plan be prepared? The Army can’t protect itself from a high ranking officer, who decides to go on a shooting spree. How does a company plan for an ex-employee, who was fired two years ago, to come back and shoot at random people in the office. Does your emergency plan include mock scenarios of anything similar? How can we plan for something as horrific as this? Unfortunately we have to plan for the worse, it is better to be prepared than not.

Are there panic buttons readily available? Do employees know where to go or what to do if confronted with this kind of situation? Is this included in you’re your emergency response plan? While we can’t possibly list every and all possible scenarios, we can walk through the possible worse, so if it does happen your employees will have some idea of what to do.
