Recognizing that no community is immune to active shooter incidents and other public safety threats, emergency services personnel from around the Kansas City region are working to help businesses, nonprofit leaders, elected officials and special event managers learn how to be prepared, aware and proactive – to be KC Ready. On Friday, May 10, 2024, the Regional Homeland Security Coordinating Committee (RHSCC) and Kansas City Regional Fusion Center will join forces with local emergency response agencies, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to host the KC Ready Resource Fair at the World War I Memorial in Penn Valley Park from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Throughout the day, homeland security and law enforcement professionals will share information on the risks, who is vulnerable, the role we all play in keeping our communities safe and what to do in case you find yourself in an incident.
Topics include:
• Recognizing and reporting suspicious activity • Assessing risk and vulnerabilities • Baseline security standards for community events • Voting and election security • Identifying and reporting hate crimes • Response to active shooter • How to be the help until help arrives • CPR/AED, NARCAN and Stop the Bleeding
Morning sessions will include presentations from subject matter experts with the KCRFC, DHS, CISA and the FBI. Lunch is from noon to 1 p.m. and is on your own. Afternoon sessions will be brief, 45-minute round-robin interactive sessions with local law enforcement and emergency management professionals.
