The National Fire Protection Association is fast-tracking a new standard designed to better prepare facilities for active shooters and other hostile events, according to an article on the Security Info Watch website.
The move to process “NFPA 3000, Standard for Preparedness and Response to Active Shooter and/or Hostile Events,” means that it could be available for use as early as April.
This is only the second time that provisional standard status has been authorized by the NFPA Standards Council.
The decision to fast-track the standard was spurred by the recent string of mass casualty shootings across the U.S.
