Alert Lockdown Inform Counter Evacuate OBJECTIVES A.L.I.C.E Alert Lockdown Inform Counter Evacuate OBJECTIVES Implementing A.L.I.C.E. has 2 objectives: 1. Gives teachers and students options to get out of a dangerous situation as well as defend themselves from an active shooter 2.

This makes it easy for the shooter to accomplish his/her plan, KILL How will a Lockdown End? 1. Police Intervention 2. Suicide 3. Weapon Malfunction 4. Civilian Intervention There are less casualties when civilians end the hostile situation than the police. Casualties would be mitigated if we build a plan where civilians interject. Three Human Reactions to Fear 1. Fight What does the Body do and Why? 2. Flight 3. Freeze #4: Which response does LOCKDOWN most closely resemble? ➢Is just one always the best and only option?? © 2012 FREEZE • We should change the language in our lockdown policy from, “YOU WILL” to “YOU MAY” use these following options to get your students and yourself to safety.

Talk to the individual to redirect his/her focus and anger. This takes advantage of the attacker’s fragile psychological state. • Historically the trigger for these attackers is that they have been bullied. C COUNTER Use of simple, proactive techniques to counter aggressive actions if necessary • The attacker is not usually a highly skilled shooter • It is more difficult to hit a moving target than a still target • Stimulus can interrupt the skill set needed to shoot accurately • OODA Loop (observe, orient, decide, act) • OODA Loop interruption could save a life • Distract shooter by throwing items at him/her )books, balls, overhead projector, etc.) • Taking back control, STIMULUS & SWARM E EVACUATION • Provide occupants with the ability and authority to evacuate; empowers teachers to make decisions. Teachers have to understand it will take approximately 5-7 minutes for first responders to arrive and up to 30 minutes for a SWAT team to arrive. • Removes as many potential targets as possible • Removes the needs for family/friends to come to scene • Follows natural response (flight) • Whether planned or not, a mass evacuation WILL occur during the active shooter event • Where will they go? We should have a staging area where everyone will report to. NO VEHICLES • Planning required by NIMS (National Incident Management System) Process if students/staff must evacuate to a predetermined location • Parents/guardians will be set up at a location away from students/staff rally points • We MUST ensure accountability for students before they can be reunited with parents/guardians, so attendance will be taken PROS/CONS of our Lockdown protocol • Pros = accountability • Cons = students & teachers are sitting ducks; easy target for shooter PROS/CONS of ALICE protocol • Pros = more likely to survive when you are moving than just sitting there Natural disaster = evacuate Human disaster = stay Why do we evacuate during a natural disaster, but stay during a potential human disaster? Skills beyond LOCKDOWN that we should teach ❖ Survival how to’s: ➢ barricading ❖ Evade/escape ➢ do’s & don’ts ❖ SWARM ➢ Do what it takes as a group (strength in numbers), to take down the shooter ❖ Contact with law enforcement ➢ Students should be running out with their hands open with a natural running motion. No cell phone or anything else in hand. No hands in pockets. ❖ What to do if you get possession of the weapon? ➢ Maintain possession of the weapon, but do not be seen with it. If seen, police will think he/she is the shooter Our Response as a District What are our responsibilities to the students in our care? We mandate through our policy that the occupants of the school sit passively and wait for help.

  • Effect of Fireworks, Chinese New Year and the COVID-19 Lockdown on Air Pollution and Public Attitudes
    Special Issue on COVID-19 Aerosol Drivers, Impacts and Mitigation (VII) Aerosol and Air Quality Research, 20: 2318–2331, 2020 ISSN: 1680-8584 print / 2071-1409 online Publisher: Taiwan Association for Aerosol Research https://doi.org/10.4209/aaqr.2020.06.0299 Effect of Fireworks, Chinese New Year and the COVID-19 Lockdown on Air Pollution and Public Attitudes Peter Brimblecombe1,2, Yonghang Lai3* 1 Department of Marine Environment and Engineering, National Sun Yat-Sen University, Kaohsiung 80424, Taiwan 2 Aerosol Science Research Center, National Sun Yat-Sen University, Kaohsiung 80424, Taiwan 3 School of Energy and Environment, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong ABSTRACT Concentrations of primary air pollutants are driven by emissions and weather patterns, which control their production and dispersion. The early months of the year see the celebratory use of fireworks, a week-long public holiday in China, but in 2020 overlapped in Hubei Province with lockdowns, some of > 70 days duration. The urban lockdowns enforced to mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic give a chance to explore the effect of rapid changes in societal activities on air pollution, with a public willing to leave views on social media and show a continuing concern about the return of pollution problems after COVID-19 restrictions are lifted. Fireworks typically give rise to sharp peaks in PM2.5 concentrations, though the magnitude of these peaks in both Wuhan and Beijing has decreased under tighter regulation in recent years, along with general reductions in pollutant emissions. Firework smoke is now most evident in smaller outlying cities and towns. The holiday effect, a reduction in pollutant concentrations when normal work activities are curtailed, is only apparent for NO2 in the holiday week in Wuhan (2015–2020), but not Beijing.

  • Fight, Flight Or Lockdown Edited
    Fight, Flight or Lockdown: Dorn & Satterly 1 Fight, Flight or Lockdown - Teaching Students and Staff to Attack Active Shooters could Result in Decreased Casualties or Needless Deaths By Michael S. Dorn and Stephen Satterly, Jr., Safe Havens International. Since the Virginia Tech shooting in 2007, there has been considerable interest in an alternative approach to the traditional lockdown for campus shooting situations. These efforts have focused on incidents defined by the United States Department of Education and the United States Secret Service as targeted acts of violence which are also commonly referred to as active shooter situations. This interest has been driven by a variety of factors including: • Incidents where victims were trapped by an active shooter • A lack of lockable doors for many classrooms in institutions of higher learning. • The successful use of distraction techniques by law enforcement and military tactical personnel. • A desire to see if improvements can be made on established approaches. • Learning spaces in many campus buildings that do not offer suitable lockable areas for the number of students and staff normally in the area. We think that the discussion of this topic and these challenges is generally a healthy one. New approaches that involve students and staff being trained to attack active shooters have been developed and have been taught in grades ranging from kindergarten to post secondary level. There are however, concerns about these approaches that have not, thus far, been satisfactorily addressed resulting in a hot debate about these concepts. We feel that caution and further development of these concepts is prudent. Developing trend in active shooter response training The relatively new trend in the area of planning and training for active shooter response for K-20 schools has been implemented in schools.

  • The Lockdown
    TEACHING TEACHING The New Jim Crow TOLERANCE LESSON 6 A PROJECT OF THE SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW CENTER TOLERANCE.ORG THE NEW JIM CROW by Michelle Alexander CHAPTER 2 The Lockdown We may think we know how the criminal justice system works. Television is overloaded with fictional dramas about police, crime, and prosecutors—shows such as Law & Order. A charismatic police officer, investigator, or prosecutor struggles with his own demons while heroically trying to solve a horrible crime. He ultimately achieves a personal and moral victory by finding the bad guy and throwing him in jail. That is the made-for-TV ver- sion of the criminal justice system. It perpetuates the myth that the primary function of the system is to keep our streets safe and our homes secure by BOOK rooting out dangerous criminals and punishing them. EXCERPT Those who have been swept within the criminal justice system know that the way the system actually works bears little resemblance to what happens on television or in movies. Full-blown trials of guilt or innocence rarely occur; many people never even meet with an attorney; witnesses are routinely paid and coerced by the government; police regularly stop and search people for no reason whatso- ever; penalties for many crimes are so severe that innocent people plead guilty, accepting plea bargains to avoid harsh mandatory sentences; and children, even as young as fourteen, are sent to adult prisons. In this chapter, we shall see how the system of mass incarceration actually works. Our focus is the War on Drugs. The reason is simple: Convictions for drug offenses are the single most Abridged excerpt important cause of the explosion in incarceration rates in the United States.

  • “Amphan” Into a Super Cyclone?
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 3 July 2020 doi:10.20944/preprints202007.0033.v1 Did COVID-19 lockdown brew “Amphan” into a super cyclone? V. Vinoj* and D. Swain School of Earth, Ocean and Climate Sciences Indian Institute of Technology Bhubaneswar *Email: [email protected] The world witnessed one of the largest lockdowns in the history of mankind ever, spread over months in an attempt to contain the contact spreading of the novel coronavirus induced COVID-19. As billions around the world stood witness to the staggered lockdown measures, a storm brewed up in the urns of the rather hot Bay of Bengal (BoB) in the Indian Ocean realm. When Thailand proposed the name “Amphan” (pronounced as “Um-pun” meaning ‘the sky’), way back in 2004, little did they realize that it was the christening of the 1st super cyclone (Category-5 hurricane) of the century in this region and the strongest on the globe this year. At the peak, Amphan clocked wind speeds of 168 mph (Joint Typhoon Warning Center) with the pressure drop to 925 h.Pa. What started as a depression in the southeast BoB at 00 UTC on 16th May 2020 developed into a Super Cyclone in less than 48 hours and finally made landfall in the evening hours of 20th May 2020 through the Sundarbans between West Bengal and Bangladesh. Did the impact of the COVID-19 induced lockdown drive an otherwise typical pre-monsoon tropical depression into a super cyclone? Global Warming and Tropical Cyclones Tropical cyclones are primarily fueled by the heat released by the oceans.

  • Weyanoke Wildlife Sanctuary Pathways Spring 2020
    Weyanoke Wildlife Sanctuary Pathways Spring 2020 Coronavirus and the Weyanoke Sanctuary Hello Neighbors and Friends, First off we hope that everyone is well and maintaining responsible anti virus precautions. Because of the pandemic we thought it especially important that the Sanctuary stays open and available for people to go to as a place of safety and relax- ation where folks can go in these times of stress. We have had lots of people take ad- vantage of this; families, young kids, older folks, all enjoying the fresh outdoors. We are very thankful for the way that trash is mostly picked up and the Sanctuary is mostly respected. Unfortunately there have been some people that ignore the rules, and bring their dogs and bikes in the Sanctuary and then get angry when someone points out the rules. We have also had two break-ins at our shed on the property, locks cut and chains stolen, a Tazz wood chipper, that used to be green with a bent left rear axel in case anyone has seen it, was stolen, in addition to packs of work gloves and face masks used by our volunteers. As a result of the break-ins and thefts we will now lock the Sanctuary up every night. We will install surveillance and security equipment at great expense. We also need to give the Sanctuary a rest from all the human contact that has been going on, with so many people using the space. This is, after all, a bird and wildlife sanctuary, not a people sanctuary, and it needs time to recuperate.

  • Book Review of Caught: the Prison State and the Lockdown of American Politics, by Marie Gottschalk
    445 Book Review Marie Gottschalk, Caught: The Prison State and the Lockdown of American Politics, Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 2015, pp. 474, $35.00 Cloth; $24.95 Paper. Reviewed by Shon Hopwood Introduction The American criminal justice system is a mess. It criminalizes too much conduct, disproportionately targets the poor and people of color, and overly relies on incarceration. It has become so immense that millions of Americans are starting to feel its squeeze as its grip fails every demographic of America from crime victims and taxpayers to those it convicts. The system desperately needs to be reexamined before an even larger segment of Americans comes to view the rule of criminal law as a rule of oppression. To their credit, academics can lay claim to being among the first to highlight the carceral state and its causes. A deep body of literature now exists on the mass incarceration crisis,1 and Professor Marie Gottschalk has made an important contribution with her book Caught. Whereas others focused on discrete parts of the carceral state, Gottschalk has meticulously detailed all of it—from the political factors that created the American carceral state to those who have profited from it. No stone is unturned in her quest to comprehensively strip our criminal justice problems bare, and she consistently reminds us of their enormity. Her thesis: The carceral state has grown so massive that it has cut off millions from the American Dream, which Gottschalk defines as “the faith that everyone has an inalienable right to freedom, justice, and equal opportunities to get ahead, and that everyone stands equal before the law” (2).

They are currently not an officer, director, or board member of any organization with an interest in this paper. PRELIMINARY: PLEASE DO NOT CITE Epidemiological and Economic Effects of Lockdown Alexander Arnon* Penn Wharton Budget Model John Ricco* Penn Wharton Budget Model Kent Smetters* Penn Wharton Budget Model The Wharton School NBER Abstract We examine the period of national lockdown beginning in March 2020 using an integrated epidemiological-econometric framework in which health and economic outcomes are jointly determined. We augment a state-level compartmental model with behavioral responses to non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) and to local epidemiological conditions. To calibrate the model, we construct daily, county-level measures of contact rates and employment and estimate key parameters with an event study design. We have three main findings: First, NPIs introduced by state and local governments explain a small fraction of the nationwide decline in contact rates but nevertheless reduced COVID-19 deaths by almost 30% percent---saving about 33,000 lives---over the first 3 months of the pandemic. However, NPIs also explain nearly 15% of the decline in employment---around 3 million jobs---over the same period.
