In July 2024, A logic error in an update for CrowdStrike's Falcon software caused 8.5 million windows computers to crash. While a fix was pushed out shortly after, the nature of the error meant that a full recovery of all effected machines took weeks to complete. Many businesses were caught up in the disruption, regardless of if this affected them directly or by proxy due to affected suppliers. So, what can businesses learn from this? Today, Ian Battersby and Steve Mason discuss the aftermath of the CrowdStrike crash, the importance of good business continuity and what actions all businesses should take to ensure they are prepared in the event of an IT incident. You'll learn ·      What happened following the CrowdStrike crash? ·      How long did it take businesses to recover? ·      Which ISO management system standards would this impact? ·      How can you use your Management System to address the affects of an IT incident? ·      How would this change your understanding of the needs and expectations of interested parties? ·      How do risk assessments factor in where IT incidents are concerned?   Resources ·      Isologyhub ·      ISO 22301 Business Continuity     In this episode, we talk about: [00:30] Join the isologyhub – To get access to a suite of ISO related tools, training and templates.

[02:05] Episode summary: Ian Battersby is joined by Steve Mason to discuss the recent CrowdStrike crash, the implications on your Management system and business continuity lessons learned that you can apply ahead of any potential future incidents.   [03:00] What happened following the CrowdStrike crash?– In short, An update to CrowdStrike's Falcon software brought down computer systems globally. 8.5 million windows systems, which in reality is less than 1% of windows systems, were affected as a result of this error. Even still, the damage could still be felt from key pillars of our societal infrastructure, with a lot of hospitals and transportation like trains and airlines being the worst affected. [04:45] How long did it take CrowdStrike to issue a fix? – CrowdStrike fixed the issue in about 30 minutes, but this didn't mean that computers affected would be automatically fixed. In many cases applying the fix meant that engineers had to go on site to many different locations which is both time consuming and costly. In some cases Microsoft said that some computers might need as many as 15 reboots to clear the problem. So, a fix that many were hoping would solve the issue ended up taking a few weeks to fully resolve as not everyone has IT or tech support in the field to issue a manual reboot. A lot of businesses were caught out as they don't factor this into their recovery time, some assuming that an issue like this is guaranteed to be fixed within 48 hours, which is not something you can promise. You need to be realistic when filling out a Business Impact Assessment (BIA). [07:55] How do you know in advance if an outage will need physical intervention to resolve? – There is a lesson to be learnt from this most recent issue. You need to take a look at your current business continuity plans and ask yourself: ·      What systems to you use? ·      How reliable are the third-party applications that you use? ·      If an issue like this to reoccur, how would it affect us? ·      Do we have the necessary resource to fix it? i.e. staff on site if needed? Third-parties will have a lot of clients, some may even prioritise those that pay a more premium package, so you can't always count on them for a quick fix. [09:10] How does this impact out businesses in terms of our management standards? – When we begin to analyse how this has impacted our management systems, we can't afford to say ‘We don't use CrowdStrike therefore it did not impact us' – it may have impacted your suppliers or your customers. Even if there was zero impact, lessons can be learned from this event for all companies. Standards that were directly affected by the outage were: ·      ISO 22301 – Business Continuity: Recovery times RPO and RTO; BIA; Risk Assessments ·      ISO 27001 – Information Security: Risk Assessment; Likelihood; Severity; BCP; ICT readiness ·      ISO 20000-1 – IT Service Management; Risk Assessment of service delivery; Service continuity; Service Availability Remember, our management systems should reflect reality and not aspiration [11:30] How do we use our Management Systems to navigate a path of corrective action and continual improvement? – First and foremost an event like this must be raised as an Incident – in this case it would no doubt have been a Major Incident for some companies. This incident will typically be recorded in the company's system for capturing non-conformities or continual improvement. You could liken this to how ISO 45001 requires you to report accidents and incidents. From the Incident a plan can be created which should include changes to be considered or made to the management system. The Incident should lead us to conducting a lessons learned activity to determine where changes and improvements need to be made. We are directed in all standards to Understanding the Organisation and its context The key requirement here is to determine the internal and external issues that can impact your management system, and prevent it from being effective. Whatever method a company uses for this, perhaps a SWOT and PESTLE; the CrowdStrike/Microsoft Outage should be included in this analysis as a threat and/or Technical issue. [15:15] What are the lessons learned from our supply chain? – In many ISO Standards, such as ISO 9001 and ISO 27001, there is a requirement to review your suppliers and the effectiveness of the service they're delivering. So you could send them an e-mail to ask how they have dealt with the issue, what actions did they take and how long did it take to fully restore services. This is a collaborative process that you can factor into your own risk assessments, as you can make a better judgement on future risk level if you are privy to their recovery plans. Many people still think of that requirement only in relation to goods and products. i.e. has my order been delivered ect. However, it relates to services such as IT infrastructure as well. You rely on that service, so evaluate how well it's being delivered.

Simply head on over to the isologyhub to sign-up or book a demo. [19:50] Once you have established lessons learnt, what's next?  – The Standards provide a logical path to work through. One of the first steps is to conduct a SWOT and PESTLE, and doing so after a major incident is recommended, as your threats and weaknesses may have changed as a result. Do not simply put the sole blame on a third-party who an incident may of originated from. This is about your response and recovery, your plans coming into effect to deal with the situation, not about who is at fault. One such finding may be your lack of business continuity plans, in which case, looking at implementing aspects of ISO 22301 may be an action to consider. It's also important to note down any positives from the incident too. You may have dealt with something very fast, communicated the issue effectively and worked with clients to ensure that their level of service was minimally impacted. If a team dealt with a situation particularly well, they should be recognised for that, as it really does go a long way. [23:55] The importance of revisiting your SWOT and PESTLE: These exercises shouldn't just be a one time thing. You should be addressing these after incidents and any major changes within the business. Ideally, you should be looking at these in all your meetings, as many actions may need to be escalated to a strategic level. If you'd like to learn about how one of our clients embraced SWOT and PESTLE, and used it to their advantage, check out episode 53. [25:20] How has our understanding of the needs and expectations of Interested Parties been changed? - How has the Outage impacted the needs and expectations of interested parties? Understanding this might lead companies to ask questions about the robustness and effectiveness of different parts of the management system: ·      Risk Assessment ·      BIA for BCP ·      Recovery Plans ·      DR plans ·      Service Continuity [27:50] What should you be considering with your risks assessments? - Risk Assessments, if they follow the traditional methodology, with have Likelihood and Impact/Severity scores an in the light of this outage, and any event, the likelihood and Impact scores should be updated. If a company has set the likelihood as ‘once every 5 years' it should seriously consider changing this to ‘once every 6 months' or 'once every year' to understand if this poses any new risks to the business. The likelihood score would of course be updated every year until it has recovered to ‘once every 5 years'. The impact is important to look at. If a company has been impacted by this outage, what has it cost the company to recover – talk to finance and other departments to understand the cost and change the scoring accordingly. [33:20] Why should a business carry out a risks assessment as part of lessons learnt? - Our risk assessments are not a one-off, but should be living documents that reflect the status of threats to the business. In ISO 27001 there is a statement to identify the ‘Consequences of  unintended changes,' and it could be argued that an Outage on the level of the CrowdStrike/Microsoft outage was an ‘unintended change that led to consequences in many businesses. So, use your risk assessments as live tools to report on the reality facing the organisation. Similarly, BIA assessments for BCP should be reviewed to determine if the assumed impact reflects the real impact; also look at the recovery plans to see if they are effective. If a recovery plan has stated that this type of incident could be recovered in 48 hours, and in reality it has taken 2 weeks, it means that recovery times in terms of RPO and RTO should be reviewed. Remember - your management system should reflect reality and not aspiration. If you'd like to book a demo for the isologyhub, simply contact us and we'd be happy to give you a tour.

Here's your daily news round-up with Beth Espey which today includes the latest from the major incident in Southport, advice if you're struggling with any of the bugs doing the rounds at the moment and good news about Tall Ships and Ardwhallen.

So this month we're looking at major incidents and specifically the triage process that is now coming into play in the UK and further afield that you need to know about! We normally stick pretty strongly to clinical topics; they're pretty easy to focus on because you can imagine how extra knowledge in a certain clinical area could make a difference to presentations that we see pretty commonly. And being brutally honest, making the effort to prepare and rehearse what we might do, on the off chance that we ever come across a major incident, can be difficult to motivate yourself to do. But this is probably an area that investing a bit of time in, really thinking about how you would act in a major incident, could make a phenomenal difference to what may be one of the most, if not the most challenging clinical days of your career. In the episode we run through Ten Second Triage (TST) and the Major Incident Triage Tool (MITT). They replace the previous triage methodologies and are to be implemented by the end of this month. We also cover some other aspects of planning and approach for being the first responder at a major incident, and we were lucky enough to gain some insights to the new triage process from Phil Cowburn, an EM & PHEM consultant who was involved in their development. Once again we'd love to hear any thoughts or feedback either on the website or via X @TheResusRoom! Simon, Rob & James

Summary In this conversation, Steven Kuhr and Battalion Chief Jerry Tracy discuss the various units and operations of the New York City Fire Department (FDNY). They highlight the extensive experience and expertise of the FDNY in responding to complex emergencies and crises. They also discuss the formation and role of squad companies, which are specialized units that can respond to fires, hazardous materials incidents, and other emergencies. The conversation emphasizes the importance of training and preparedness in effectively managing and responding to emergencies. The conversation covers various topics related to firefighting and emergency response. Some key themes include the importance of backup and coordination between different departments, the impact of tragic events on changing tactics and procedures, the need for integration between EMS and fire operations, and the development of rapid intervention teams (RIT) or firefighter assistance search teams (FAST). Chief Tracy discusses various topics related to firefighting and emergency response. He shares insights on the challenges faced when dealing with high-rise fires and the importance of effective communication during emergencies. Chief Tracy emphasizes the need for clear and concise communication between different agencies and departments to ensure a coordinated response. He also highlights the significance of strategic communication in emergency management. The conversation touches on the importance of training and preparedness, as well as the need for continuous learning and improvement in the fire service. Takeaways The FDNY is the largest fire department in the United States. Squad companies are specialized units within the FDNY that are trained to respond to a wide range of emergencies, including fires, hazardous materials incidents, and technical rescues. The FDNY has a diverse range of units and resources, including hazmat teams, urban search and rescue teams, wildland fire companies, and mobile respiratory units. Training, preparedness, and collaboration with other agencies are key factors in the FDNY's ability to effectively respond to emergencies and protect the public. Backup and coordination between different departments are crucial in emergency response situations. Tragic events often lead to changes in tactics and procedures. Integration between fire and EMS operations can improve overall response effectiveness. Rapid intervention teams (RIT) or firefighter assistance search teams (FAST) play a vital role in firefighter safety. Firefighters continue to face challenges and make sacrifices in their line of duty. Buildings can be 'born sick and dying,' referring to new construction, renovations, and abandoned or demolished structures. Emergency responders must be prepared for any situation. Effective communication is crucial during emergencies. Incident commanders and responders should have clear channels of communication to ensure a coordinated response. The incident process system is a structured approach to incident command that helps relieve the incident commander of micromanaging tasks. It allows units to fall into place as they arrive on the scene. Strategic communication between police, fire, and EMS is essential for a unified response. Agencies should work together to develop a coordinated strategy. The importance of training and continuous learning in the fire service cannot be overstated. Firefighters should be knowledgeable about their responsibilities and be prepared to adapt to different situations. Contact Information https://www.linkedin.com/in/jerry-tracy-6749b127/

Seven motorcyclists were injured after a major collision that shut down US-70 in Johnston County on Saturday night. A group of riders from the Goldsboro motorcycle club known as "Twisted Kings" were riding together towards Raleigh, when they say an SUV merged into the group's formation, hitting multiple people – before taking off and driving away. This happened on US-70 near Pine Level in Johnston County. The road was completely shut down for several hours after the crash. One witness told WRAL News there were large bikes 'scattered all over the roadway.' --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/motorcyclemadhouse/message

This is the second instalment of the conversation on the approach to major incidents with Keir Rutherford & Alec Wilding. We examine triage tools which have just come into practise which is around the TST - 10 second triage algorithm and the MITT - major incident triage tool and also look at enhanced levels of care on scene and what should be done in the casualty clearing station. We also examine at how we manage our emotions as senior clinicians both on scene and retrospectively and work we work with interdisciplinary teams around the fire brigade and the police on scene. Here are more resources from the conversation: London Bridge article: https://www.magonlinelibrary.com/doi/abs/10.12968/jpar.2017.9.12.512 Ten second triage: A novel and pragmatic approach to major incident triage: https://t.co/LXdO1MFRX4 New NHS Prehospital Major Incident Triage Tool: from MIMMS to MITT: https://emj.bmj.com/content/39/11/800.long NARU app: https://naru.org.uk/jesip-launched-free-app-emergency-responders/ Jesip aid memoir : https://jesip.org.uk/uploads/media/pdf/Aide_Memoires/JESIP_Aide_Memoire_2022.pdf

In this conversation we will examine some of the lessons learnt from anecdotal experiences in major incidents, together with the reflections from previous recommendations in major incident enquiries such as the Manchester bombings. We will examine the differentiation of terrorist attacks at point of call from an otherwise normal RTC or ‘typical' incident. We also look at the initial approach to triage, who and how this should be done as well as the integration and relationship of the Ten Second Triage (TST) algorithm, the Major Incident Triage Tool (MITT) and levels of enhanced care at the scene. Also, the concept of casualty clearing and when and how this should be performed. We also examine the level/ceiling of intervention that is beneficial from the empirical research in such events and how this should be approached. We also examine inter-disciplinary working with other services such as police responders and fire brigade.  Keir Rutherford is an Advanced Paramedic Practitioner in Critical Care and also a flight paramedic with London's Air Ambulance. Alec is also an Advanced Paramedic Practitioner in Critical Care and the Emergency Planning Resilience and Response (EPRR) lead for Festival Medical Services, who are a charity providing event medical cover including at Glastonbury and also a Specialist Paramedic for Hampshire Isle of Wight Air Ambulance.

This session will be the first of a mini-series examining the first-hand accounts of clinicians at some of the most well-known major incidents in the past 20 years. We will start the series by looking at the London bombings from both my perspective and a paramedic Team Leader now Critical Care Paramedic Ken Murphy. We will examine from our anecdotal experience how the scene unfolded and how it became apparent that 3 other bombs had detonated in quick succession. We will walk through some of the thoughts, recollections and structural components and just how it felt to be part of the largest coordinated terrorist attack that the UK has ever seen. In the episode we examine: Our day up until that point The initial call to Kings Cross for a reported power surge The confirmation down in Aldgate East Arrival on scene and what met us The triage and extrication CSCATTT and closer look at the 3 Ts Transfer of patients to the Royal London Hospital Kings Cross – the casualty clearing station and transfer of patients I hope you enjoy this first hand account that examines the difficulties and realities of major incidents.

In this week's episode, CoinDesk's Christine Kim and Consensys' Ben Edgington talk about what caused 70% of validators on Ethereum 2.0 to stop producing blocks on the network and the important takeaways for protocol developers in light of this event. They also discuss the updated roadmap for the Eth 2.0 upgrade as outlined by Vitalik Buterin in a recent presentation. This episode is sponsored by hellointerpop.io and The Sun Exchange.Last Friday, April 23, founder of Ethereum, Vitalik Buterin, gave a presentation at the Scaling Ethereum Summit on the upgrades he expects to come after the network's transition to a new, environmentally friendly proof-of-stake (PoS) protocol. “The first set of things here is a lot of security improvements, some economic sustainability improvements and some features,” said Buterin at the event. “The far future is just about really nailing down and improving and having extremely strong guarantees about the security of the system.”Buterin detailed a number of different upgrades after PoS including sharding, rollups, verifiable delay functions, Ethereum Virtual Machine improvements and more. To Kim, the main takeaway from the presentation was not the individual upgrades and their technicalities, but the sheer breadth of work still to be done on the protocol even after its long-awaited merge with the Eth 2.0 network. “When are we going to get to the end here? ... There seems to be a lot more that we're going to have to continue to talk about when it comes to Ethereum finally reaching its production ready, world computer phase,” said Kim. To this, Edgington noted the vision outlined by Buterin was indeed ambitious and big but that he was in full support of such a roadmap. “I love this idea that we just keep on growing and evolving. It keeps me engaged. There are lots of very interesting problems to solve,” said Edgington. Speaking of a problem, the Ethereum 2.0 network had its first major incident on April 24 after 70% of validators on the network were suddenly unable to produce blocks. Developers quickly identified the root cause of the issue was from a bug in the Eth 2.0 software client, Prym. A patch was rolled out to affected validators the same day. The issue still persisted through till Sunday, however, for certain validators who hadn't upgraded to the latest version of Prysm. The important lesson, according to Edgington, is for validators, staking pools and developers to be more proactive about client diversity on Ethereum 2.0. “Here's an example where the network would have been much more robust if each of the four clients had 25% of validators each. In that case, you'd only be missing a quarter of the blocks if this had happened and the network would have been more or less fine,” said Edgington. “But when one client dominates and that client has a problem, it's really serious for the whole network.”Catch the full breakdown of how developers are responding to Saturday's incident by listening to the entire podcast episode of Mapping Out Ethereum 2.0 hosted by Edgington and Kim.

Major incident declared in London as hospitals face ‘critical’ threat

Health editor Ross Lydall joins the show to explain why the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has "put up the biggest red flag he can" as coronavirus runs rampant through the city. Ross tells us what that means for hospitals where doctors have told him they are "horrified" by the rise in cases that Mr Khan describes as "out of control". There are more than 7,000 Covid patients in London hospitals — almost 2,000 more than the first peak last April — and almost 1,000 are on ventilators.Meanwhile, the Evening Standard's Susannah Butter has been talking to some of the nurses in the capital trying to cope with an onslaught of infected patients arriving in their wards. She tells us they're struggling to deal with the huge numbers, and it's causing enormous stress that inevitably many are taking home with them.

Officials in southern England have declared a "major incident" after thousands of people flocked to local beaches.Bournemouth and Sandbanks, in Dorset, were hit particularly hard as crowds came to enjoy the hottest day of the year so far, according to a statement released Thursday by local authority Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole (BCP) Council.Despite advice to stay away from the area, it was overrun with cars and sunbathers, leading to gridlock, illegal parking and anti-social behavior. By Thursday morning, more than 40 tons of waste had been removed from the coastline.Council leader Vikki Slade said she was "absolutely appalled" by the scenes."The irresponsible behavior and actions of so many people is just shocking and our services are stretched to the absolute hilt trying to keep everyone safe," said Slade in the statement. "We have had no choice now but to declare a major incident and initiate an emergency response."The UK is slowly easing its coronavirus restrictions and groups of up to six people are allowed to meet up outside in England. However, the sheer number of sunseekers caused huge problems.Illegally parked cars obstructed roads, and the council handed out 558 parking enforcement fines -- a daily record.Rubbish crews also suffered abuse and intimidation as they tried to remove mountains of rubbish from the seafront, according to the statement, and there have been a number of incidents involving excessive alcohol and fighting.In response there will be extra police patrols, security provided for rubbish crews, and more parking enforcement.Authorities also found people camping illegally overnight. They were evicted and seafront rangers will carry out extra patrols as a result.Slade implored people not to visit the area and likened the scenes to a public holiday."We are not in a position to welcome visitors in these numbers now or to deal with the full range of problems associated with managing volumes of people like this," said Slade. "PLEASE do not come. We are not able to welcome you yet."Assistant Chief Constable Sam de Reya, of Dorset Police, also called on people to stay away from the area, explaining that the extra measures activated after declaring a major incident will only go so far."We are also reliant on people taking personal responsibility and strongly advise members of the public to think twice before heading to the area," she said."Clearly we are still in a public health crisis and such a significant volume of people heading to one area places a further strain on emergency services resources."Parts of the UK are preparing for a further easing of lockdown restrictions on July 4, but there have been other signs that members of the public are increasingly flouting the rules.Overnight into Thursday, at least 22 police officers were injured and emergency vehicles were damaged in London after a street party descended into violence.And on June 13 several thousand people attended two illegal raves near Manchester, northern England, and three stabbings, a rape and an overdose death were reported between the two events.

Security Plans  for your Bar.     The tragic mass shooting in Las Vegas this week have people realing.  It was just an awful, disgusting act, but you don’t need me to tell you that.  We send our best wishes to those affected,directly and indirectly.  I would imagine among other repercussions that this will affect tourism  in Las Vegas for some time, and will hurt our brother and sister Bartenders and other Hospitality workers in the pocketbook.   This is not the place to discuss the event itself. One issue that we have never talked about on this show is security.   I am certainly no expert on this subject, but it needs to be discussed.   Bars, restaurants, music venues etc are so called “soft targets”.  They are vulnerable, large numbers of people gather there.  We saw this in the Paris attacks, in Orlando now Las Vegas.   Ideally every business should write a disaster plan.  There are security consultants that can help with this, or you can write something up yourself, and I’m going to give you a free tool that almost automates the process.   One easy and practically free thing every bar should have, but many don’t is a LOG.  Everyday at the end of a shift the manager or bartender or both should write in a log book.  Even if nothing unusual happened, write that!  This is really important for legal reasons, for example - if you have to cut somebody off, or there is a fight or whatever.  There needs to be documentation.  Some places will even include things like the weather or seemingly unrelated details, but they can become important in the future.   The reason to do old school hand written logs in a physical notebook, as opposed to Google Docs or some other computerized solution is that these notes thoreticly can’t be altered after the fact.  The book needs to have pages that are not easily removed, so it needs to have bound pages - a spiral notebook is no good. Next we can talk about exits. In the Las Vegas attack many many of the injuries were attributed to people getting trampled or hurt while trying to climb walls and other things like that. I was watching a lot of CNN, in the hours and days after the Las Vegas attack.  One expert pointed out that human nature dictates people will always try to get out the same way they came in.  As I’m sure you know, the Las Vegas shooting occurred at an outdoor venue.  There were 4 gates used for entering, but 3 other large exits on the opposite side.  As in an airplane always locate the exit nearest you, keeping in mind it may be behind you - or maybe the opposite way from where you came in.  I heard one security expert say, “when I enter a place I’m already trying to figure how to get out”.  In fact the advice from a US Government document that I’ll talk more about later, suggests finding the closest 2 exits. Keeping this in mind, if there were ever an incident where you work and you had to evacuate your guests, you may need to direct them to exits they are not aware of, including possibly through the back of the house. Here in the U.S. we have the Federal Government agency OSHA (the Occupational Safety and Health Administration) and according to their officail web site “Almost every business is required to have an emergency action plan (EAP).”  Luckily on their web site you can Create Your Own Emergency Action Plan (EAP).  This is the free tool I mentioned a minute ago, and of course we will have a link on BaretenderJourney.net This is their description of an EAP: “An emergency action plan (EAP) is usually a written document required by particular OSHA standards. For smaller organizations, the plan does not need to be written and may be communicated orally if there are 10 or fewer employees.  The purpose of an EAP is to facilitate and organize employer and employee actions during workplace emergencies. The elements of the plan must include, but are not limited to: Means of reporting fires and other emergencies Evacuation procedures and emergency escape route assignments Procedures to be followed by employees who remain to operate critical plant operations before they evacuate Procedures to account for all employees after an emergency evacuation has been completed Rescue and medical duties for those employees who are to perform them Names or job titles of persons who can be contacted for further information or explanation of duties under the plan” It goes on to say that most small and medium-sized entities will get their basic plans from this system in 10 to 15 minutes.  There is no charge for this.  So that’s a great resource and of course we’ll have links in the show notes. This is just the tip of the iceberg with this stuff. I referenced a Federal Government document a few minutes ago.  Its from the Department of Homeland Security and its called “Active Shooter - How to Respond”.  The conventional wisdom in this situation is Run, Hide, Fight.  This document details that.  Also if you go to youtube and search for Run, Hide, Fight you’ll find a video that is definitely worth watching. Back to the document - it says “Remember that customers and clients are likely to follow the lead of employees and managers during an active shooter situation”. I’ll read through some of this, and of course link to it on BartenderJourney.net Evacuate So this is Run part. If there is an accessible escape path, attempt to evacuate the premises. Be sure to: Have an escape route and plan in mind Evacuate regardless of whether others agree to follow Leave your belongings behind Help others escape, if possible Prevent individuals from entering an area where the active shooter may be Keep your hands visible Follow the instructions of any police officers Do not attempt to move wounded people Call 911 when you are safe   Hide Out: If evacuation is not possible, find a place to hide where the active shooter is less likely to find you. Your hiding place should: Be out of the active shooter’s view Provide protection if shots are fired in your direction (i.e., an office with a closed and locked door) Not trap you or restrict your options for movement To prevent an active shooter from entering your hiding place: Lock the door Blockade the door with heavy furniture If the active shooter is nearby: Lock the door Silence your cell phone, and I’ll add consider turning off vibration too.  It takes a few steps and might be difficult to remember in a stressful situation.  In iOS 9 and above you can go to Settings/General/Accessibility/Vibration/Off.  You probably don’t want to shut the phone off completely because  you’ll want the option of communication, plus sometimes the phone makes a bunch of noise as it turns off...so just something to keep in mind.  Back to the list of “If the shooter is nearby” Turn off any source of noise (i.e., radios, televisions) Hide behind large items (i.e., cabinets, desk) Remain quiet Try to Remain calm Dial 911, if possible, to alert police to the active shooter’s location If you cannot speak, leave the line open and allow the dispatcher to listen.   I’ll add that as I record this in October 2017 the ability of 911 operators to pinpoint the caller’s exact location seems to have vastly improved over the last 3 or 4 years.  In an article I read on a website called govtech.com the operator is get the location of the cell towers within seconds of a call coming in.  A 911 dispatch trainer named Matt Langley is quoted as saying “If a phone is Phase 2 compliant -- most newer phones are -- the phones have better capabilities in sending cell towers GPS coordinates”.  “Then, dispatchers communicate with that tower, which communicates with the phone”.  “The caller's location if found from the cell tower is shown on an online map in front of the dispatcher. Not all states or counties have that capability” Back to the Homeland Security Document.  Last resort - Fight. Take action against the active shooter As a last resort, and only when your life is in imminent danger, attempt to disrupt and/or incapacitate the active shooter by: Acting as aggressively as possible against him/her Throwing items and improvising weapons Yelling Committing to your action Disclaimer:  Remember this is not me telling you to do this, its the US Federal Gov’t’s Department of Homeland Security.   When Law Enforsement Arrives There is more on the document - I won’t read it all, but basicly raise your hands - these guys just got here, they don’t know what’s going on - we don’t want to put them in a situation where they have to make a split second decision resulting in a mistake.  Of course follow their commands.  Understand weird stuff could happen, like they could potentially throw you to the ground or something for your own safety.  Don’t get in their way by yelling or screaming at them for help, just quickly exit the same way they came in. There are more recommendations for Preparing for and Managing an Active Shooter Situation.  I’ll let you read through them all, but the one that stuck out to me is to “activate the emergency notification system when an emergency situation occurs”.  Now in a small bar its going to be pretty obvious to all that something is going on, but imagine a Hotel or even large restaurant with multiple floors and a noisy kitchen in the back.  Something to think about. Alright, last week I started a segment called “Unrelated Podcast Suggestion of the Week”.  Well we are changing it already.  This week its a related podcast and more than a suggestion I’m going to call this homework for you.  The podcast is Nightclub Security.  It looks like they only produced 21 episodes with the last one posted in 2014, but its a great show from the guys at Nightclub Security Consultants, who I met at the Nightclub & Bar Show a few years back.  In particular, I’d like to you listen to episodes 4 and 5  called 6 Important Tips to Manage a Major Violent Incident in Your Venue and Ep. 005 – How to Document a Major Incident in Your Venue respectively.

Many of my guests on the show are Tech leaders that appear on my radar that not only resonate but also inspire or intrigue me. Abbas Haider is the CTO of xMatters, and after seeing a video talking about how internal collaboration is crucial to digital transformation I wanted to find out more. xMatters aim to boost IT Operations, DevOps and Major Incident Management processes with intelligent communications. "Turn Insights into Action During Business Disruptions From IT major incidents to manufacturing line slowdowns, virtually every business process generates insights that need to reach the people required to take action" As most of you listening know by now, I love my tech, but it's how it brings people together and increases collaboration that really excites me. When I also heard him speak my IT language about the major incident and change management along with how automated chatbots can help in the communication process, I had to get him to on the show.
