What information should be included in the FLSD notification to building occupants during an active shooter incident?

The best choice is to include an indication that there is an active shooter incident and the shooter's last known location in the FLSD notification to building occupants. This information is essential for a few reasons. First, awareness of an active shooter situation is critical for occupants to understand the immediate danger they face. This knowledge allows individuals to assess their surroundings, prepare for potential threats, and make informed decisions regarding their next steps.

Second, knowing the shooter's last known location is vital as it can help occupants determine the safest course of action, whether that involves evacuating in the opposite direction, finding a secure area to hide, or barricading themselves. This information empowers individuals to respond effectively to the situation at hand.

While other options may represent valid considerations during an emergency response, such as informing occupants about fire alarm statuses, emergency exit routes, or lockdown procedures, the primary focus in a notification during an active shooter incident should be to convey immediate and life-threatening information that can influence survival decisions.
