New Action Guide Available - Hospitals and Healthcare Facilities

This week, Cybersecurity Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) released a new Action Guide for Hospitals and Healthcare Facilities as part of a series of action guides.

 The Action Guide: Hospitals and Healthcare Facilities provides information regarding potential indicators of an active shooter, and actions that can be taken to mitigate the threat and limit the impacts of an attack at healthcare facilities. These facilities present unique challenges and require a modified perspective to the traditional run, hide, fight approach. We request that you share this resource with your staff and management.

 In the coming days, this product will also be available via the DHS Active Shooter Preparedness website (www.dhs.gov/active-shooter-preparedness).
