EXERCISE UPDATE:

In 2015, the Ohio Department of Public Safety started working on the “Ohio Mall Active Shooter Tabletop Exercise

Toolkit.” The project involved the collaboration between the Ohio Emergency Management Agency and the Ohio Private

Investigator Security Guard Services. To date, two active shooter mall exercises have been held with Ohio malls, from

the feedback gathered materials were sculpted into a tool kit that should be universal for malls in Ohio and across the

United States.

The Mall Active Shooter Exercise Toolkit is in the last stages of a vetting process before testing the final product with the

Franklin Park Mall, in Toledo. Once the materials are finalized they will be shared on the Ohio EMA webpage and will be

available for download by counties and malls wishing to test their plans and preparedness capabilities.

PARTNER TRAINING UPDATE

FREE DOT PHMSA Funded Rail Car Incident Response Training Available

As more and more rail traffic transports cargo including hazardous materials, it is important that the responder community become educated about the dangers and unique hazards presented with rail cars carrying these commodities. The information covered in this Department of Transportation Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (DOT PHMSA) approved and funded Rail Car Incident Response for Crude, Ethanol, and Other Flammable Liquids training course will enhance the ability of emergency responders to assess the scene of a rail car incident, understand the resources needed to remediate the emergency situation, including how the railroad will play a critical role in the response.

Hands-on scenarios using a 14ft. rail car simulator are conducted to emphasize the objectives of the training including:

Identifying the design, construction, components and markings of rail tank cars that carry crude/flammable liquids

Recognizing and identifying the chemical being transported, and the properties that must be considered in an emergency

Assessing the scene to determine the potential hazards to people, property, and the environment

Recognizing mitigation strategies including offensive, defensive, and non-intervention strategies for fire and/or spill incidents

Identifying key resources in the rail/freight industry as well as federal, state, and private resources for response assistance
