Standard for an Active Shooter/Hostile Event Response (ASHER) Program

Mass casualty events have become an unwelcomed trend. To help communities with hostile event preparedness, response and recovery, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) released NFPA 3000TM (PS), Standard for an Active Shooter / Hostile Event Response (ASHER) Program in 2018. The standard is currently being updated by 50-plus representatives from federal agencies, law enforcement, fire, EMS, emergency management, facilities, private security, hospitals, and universities so that a broad range of authorities have defined benchmarks for their comprehensive plans, policies, and procedures.
