Active Threat - Mall Shooting
Virtual Tabletop Exercise
Thursday, Jan 13, 9am- 1pm

According to the FBI, active shooter incidents occur at places of businesses and retail stores – including shopping malls – more than at any other location.

BICEPP is hosting Virtual Tabletop Exercise (VTTX) sponsored by the Emergency Management Institute (EMI). It is being provided at no charge. This VTTX will focus on the role of your organization(s) in response to potential consequences of an active shooter scenario, as well as the interdisciplinary and interagency coordination both at the local, state, and Federal level. This scenario can be used to assess plans, policies, training, and procedures. The VTTX involves key personnel discussing simulated scenarios in an informal setting. Lead facilitation for the exercise will be coordinated by EMI, with local facilitation provided by BICEPP.

Exercise Goals: 

This virtual exercise will enable the participants to apply the knowledge, skills and abilities needed to effectively respond to emergency management incidents of varying complexity. Overall objectives include: 

• Assist participants’ knowledge, skills, and abilities to effectively conduct all-hazards emergency response.

• Allow participating locations to share preparation, response and recovery solutions with all participants.

• Enable participants to better coordinate response operations with counterparts from Federal agencies, State governments, local governments, private sector organizations, and nongovernmental agencies.
