Evacuation, Lockdown and Invacuation Guidance for Security Threats

The source provides comprehensive guidance from the National Protective Security Authority (NPSA) for developing security policies and procedures to counter threats like terrorist incidents. It focuses on three primary responses—Evacuation, Lockdown, and Invacuation—explaining the purpose and steps for each, which must be adapted to a premises' unique circumstances. The document emphasizes that these plans should differ significantly from standard fire procedures, particularly in communication and alerting methods. Furthermore, it stresses the importance of scenario-based planning and post-incident recovery and debriefing to ensure staff are prepared and procedures remain effective. The overall goal is to support organizations in getting people away from danger through flexible and adaptable response plans. For the digital platform visit https://safetydocs.org
