This week, the Boone County Office of Emergency Management, hosted the NCIER Advanced Active Shooter Incident Management course. Special thanks to the Boone County Sheriff's Office for allowing the use of their state-of-the-art training facility for the course.

Preparedness, coordination, and communication are critical when responding to an active shooter incident.

The National Center for Integrated Emergency Response’s Advanced Active Shooter Incident Management (ASIM) course provides emergency responders and partner agencies with training focused on managing the complex challenges associated with active shooter incidents. The course emphasizes coordinated incident management, effective communication, situational awareness, and the integration of law enforcement, fire/EMS, emergency management, 911 dispatchers, public information officers, and other response partners.

This training is an opportunity to strengthen interagency coordination, improve understanding of response roles and responsibilities, and enhance the ability to work together during a rapidly evolving incident.

Building strong relationships before an incident occurs can make a significant difference when seconds matter.

Today, the Boone County Safety Committee, facilitated by Travis Fast of Boone County HR, met to learn more about the importance of Automated External Defibrillator (AED) safety and preparedness. The training was led by Matt Brown of the Boone County Office of Emergency Management, who provided the committee with valuable information on AED locations, proper use, and the critical role these devices can play during a cardiac emergency.

During the training, committee members learned how to identify and locate AEDs in their workplaces, as well as the basic steps for using an AED, knowing where one is located, and being familiar with the model in the workplace before an emergency. While AEDs are designed to be easy to use and provide clear, step-by-step instructions, knowing where one is located before an emergency occurs can save valuable time.

The Boone County Safety Committee encourages all employees to take a moment to locate the AED in their workspace and become familiar with its location. Taking this simple step now can help ensure you are prepared to respond quickly and confidently should an emergency arise.
