On May 14, Walter F. Ulmer, III of Remlu, Inc., Emergency Preparedness Planning and Sergeant Stephen M. Iannone of the NYPD Counterterrorism Division will present an interactive workshop that will walk you through the tasks, protocols and responsibilities for an active shooter scenario in a commercial office building. It's a double dose of expertise and the first time at BOMA/NY that the management/corporate perspective has been presented in tandem with the detail and depth of the NYPD Active Shooter workshop.

Using the acronym SCA (Survive, Communicate, Assist), and the Pillars of Preparedness© planning model, these experts will focus on:

>Active shooter response protocols at the public, corporate and individual levels  

>Sound response strategies for building staffs

>How to develop options for tenant interactions before, during and after an incident

Key learning objectives are:

>What do we do? Develop specific building staff actions to mitigate impact

>What do we say? Develop internal/external messaging strategies for tenants, stakeholders and other interested parties during/after an incident

>How do we train? Develop pre-incident training strategies to prepare staff for an event

You’ll leave the seminar with a broad perspective on such incidents, as well as specific and realistic response protocols and training methodologies for tenants and building teams.

The May 14 training will be held at Club 101 at 101 Park Avenue from 8 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. The cost is $125 for members and $180 for non-members, which includes breakfast. To enroll, just click here.
