All, 
There are a couple of resources that might be of interest to folks:

1. The ASTC Visitor Services CoP has been discussing this issue.  If you'd like to join, visit http://connect.astc.org and enroll in the Visitor Services CoP area.

2. The Office of Homeland Security is offering a preparedness workshop for museums, and there are upcoming dates in Phoenix and Los Angeles: http://images.magnetmail.net/images/clients/Museum/attach/ActiveShooterWorkshopFlyer_DC.pdf

3. We are in contact with our colleagues at ACM to disseminate access to the recording of their preparedness webinar.

Best, 
Laura
