A rise in active shooter incidents and the escalating impact of hostile events has prompted the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) to process NFPA 3000, Standard for Preparedness and Response to Active Shooter and/or Hostile Events as a provisional standard, which means it would be available for use as early as April 2018. As part of the standards process, NFPA 3000 will be open for input until February 23rd, 2018.
This marks only the second time in NFPA’s 121-year history that provisional standard status has been authorised by the NFPA Standards Council.Mass killings are largely a United States phenomenon accordingly to a recent CNN article
