Firefighters, law enforcement officers, and emergency medical service responders play a critical role in protecting people and property in the event of fires, medical emergencies, terrorist acts, and numerous other emergencies.

So in my other Health & Safety Protocols eBook, euthanasia was suggested as a sound epidemiological safety mechanism if you have a biological disease contaminant phages isolated somewhere (city, cruise ship, train, airplane, bus, building, etc). In this eBook there are drastic crime scene mitigation procedures some may find off-putting as well to many. A knockout blow and social media victory for the traumatized school students, if an unfortunate event takes lives and/or leaves schoolmates wounded. There are many measures we employ during Hazardous Waste and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) an OSHA Certification Course. In emergency response for spills or releases of all kinds, a containment zone is created, and an incident commander is placed in charge of the spill response and decontamination area to the clean areas just outside the containment zone. Just like pros vs cons/costs vs benefits are pivotal in middle to long-term responses typically. In tight binds and first-on-scene situations like school shooting events. The containment zone is now being considered a crime scene zone instead. A school's campus perimeter is often encompassed by chain link fences for security and in order to not have people wander onto school property. School security and police responding to an active shooter incident involving our youth must act quickly and with the necessary information to properly handle an emergency of this kind. Identify, evaluate, notify, and control are key steps in identifying how you will deploy an emergency response to any situation. I will investigate this way of responding as well as look carefully at that particular emergency situation that is at hand. The incident commander begins with school security and later is typically handed off to the highest-ranking police officer or fireman initially arriving. Thank the Lord. Appreciate you! Humiliation by peers, if the degenerate(s) actually kill and wound students. Public humiliation online ought to happen in the school's gym or auditorium as students and siblings confront the evil shooter(s) and now multiple murderer(s). But why not be proactive and get on top of the dire situation at its onset? Simply utilizing modern electronic devices and cell phone apps with cooperation from student government leaders, guidance counselors, and the vice principal's office. People on the inside where the crime is occurring. There are so many control measures that can be made as well. This eBook will help explain the localized response's new eTools as well as a sure-fire extreme but effective end game-changer that will amaze some people. Enjoy the read and RIP all students who died from these terrible and senseless tragedies.

Industry leaders who read any of the three prior editions of Streetsense over the years (starting in 1986) often say it had a huge impact on their street careers. This fourth edition still addresses the triad of communication, safety, and control, but it also re­flects the evolution of the emergency care industry since the arrival of the millennium: computers and cellphones, social media, active shooters, and much, much more. This book offers emergency providers methods for managing all sorts of situations safely and effectively. THE THREE MAIN PILLARS OF STREETSENSE: • Interpersonal communication with people of all sorts (including your colleagues) • Safety in various aspects—such as managing crowds, traffic, and weaponized situations • Control of such things as all types of scenes, stress, death and dying, and even legal matters Early in her career on the streets, Kate realized how much more there was to learn beyond the straight medical training. From her mentors and years of observation and experimentation, she learned the craft of emergency care. This book offers scores of tips and tricks (and traps) for helping people in crisis. Just as many industry leaders have discovered, it is a seriously helpful book.
