This webinar, co-hosted by FMI and The Power of Preparedness (TPOP), will be led by Bill Flynn, TPOP's Co-founder and Chief Content Officer. Mr. Flynn is a former Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, and was Assistant Commissioner of the NYPD during 9/11. Five minutes or less. That’s how quickly active shooter incidents are over, according to the FBI. Most people intuitively know what Run-Hide-Fight (RHF) means, but it’s more than a phrase and requires knowledge of the underlying principles and response protocols. During this webinar, Mr. Flynn will highlight the need for RHF training beyond a break room poster or 5-minute slideshow. This mini-workshop, as well as TPOP's online training for active shooter preparedness, will build your knowledge and muscle memory and empower individuals to act quickly and decisively during those crucial first minutes of an incident.
