I’m excited to discuss the contageon factors related to mass shootings as part of my keynote address for the fall Campus Safety Conference November 4, 2021, in Pittsburgh.

I want readers to appreciate that before a shooting might occur, they can prevent it. When a shooting occurs, they can keep themselves and others safe if they already know how to run, hide and fight. After the shooting is over, good planning can return a community to some sense of normalcy.

Many, many big companies have threat assessment teams meeting routinely, such as monthly. These threat assessment teams analyze the information they receive and then choose the best way to manage that information which is why we talk about both threat assessment and threat management.
