 “So what if you run outside and there is another aggressor waiting for you?”

“I was thinking, what if the violent intruder accesses the roof of the school and comes down…”

“What if the active shooter drives his truck through the front doors then starts killing everyone?”

     “What if?” Rarely do I finish a presentation when I am not faced with at least one “what if?” question. Some appear deeply sincere an concerning, while others seem to be so bizarre or off-base you wonder if they are just trying to be provocative. So when does emergency preparedness address enough scenarios or “what if’s”? One of the gauges used to decide what scenarios to consider and prepare for is a term called reasonable foreseeability. Reasonable foreseeability takes into account data from past events combined with intelligence about current trends, threat levels and technologies being used by today’s bad guys.
