Protect your community with NFPA 3000™ (PS), the first comprehensive multidisciplinary program addressing active shooter and other hostile events.

Recent incidents around the world underscore the critical importance of first responder and community preparedness for active shooter and/or hostile events. These tragedies have a significant and lasting impact on entire communities, and unified and integrated preparedness, response, and recovery strategies are vital to mitigate their impacts.

The urgent need for coordinated planning and response prompted the development of a new provisional consensus standard: NFPA 3000™ (PS).
