Businesses Overwhelmingly Concerned about Active Shooters in the Workplace, But are Unprepared for Them
Despite two-thirds of organizations naming active shooter as a top threat, 79 percent are not fully prepared, and more than 60 percent don't run readiness drills. That's according to the “Active Shooter Preparedness” preparedness report by Everbridge.
Respondents were overwhelmingly concerned about violent acts – such as active shooter situations – taking place at their company or organization. Despite that worry, a majority of respondents also said that they were not properly prepared for an active shooter situation, highlighting communication to affected employees and individuals as one of the major issues.
