Preparedness Before, During, and After an Active Shooter Emergency

By JT Henry | Trident Storms

Preparedness is for everyone.

What helps you recognize when an ordinary situation is changing? How do you consider your options when information is incomplete? What happens after the immediate danger has passed?

Beyond Run-Hide-Fight explores these questions through practical explanations and realistic scenarios. Written for adults, families, employees, volunteers, and organizational leaders, this guide connects everyday preparation with decisions that account for different abilities, responsibilities, and circumstances.

Inside, you’ll explore how to:

• Recognize meaningful changes while distinguishing observations from assumptions.
• Report concerns clearly through appropriate channels.
• Understand Run, Hide, and Fight as response options, including their limits.
• Reassess decisions when routes, conditions, or information change.
• Include accessibility and assistance needs in preparation.
• Plan for communication, reunification, recovery, and continued learning.

From a familiar café to a workplace or community gathering, the examples help readers connect the material to places they know. The emphasis is on thoughtful preparation and practical follow-through.

Includes: The complete digital PDF eBook with illustrated front and back covers, chapter connections to the companion workbook, and references for continued learning. The workbook is a separate resource.

This is general awareness education for adults. It supports local emergency plans and qualified training.

Start with one familiar place. Identify one preparation gap. Take the next practical step.
