We’re working to raise active shooter awareness and preparedness to help save lives. We’re actively conducting Aware campaign activities and community outreach in the great state of Ohio.
During this town hall meeting, we'll discuss active shooter awareness and preparedness. Our platform is simple; we offer a keynote address from an experienced, executive level homeland security professional, and then we open the floor up so you can engage the speaker and a panel of experts.
Please volunteer to come and serve as a participant in the audience. We encourage you to visit https://www.hsfamerica.org/aware to learn more about the Aware public safety campaign and take the national public safety survey at https://www.hsfamerica.org/national-public-safety-survey/ before arrival.
Coffee service will be provided.
This event is open to the public, so feel free to invite other participants and encourage them to take the national public safety survey.
