About surviving the lethal threat

Villahermosa, Jr. will cover the importance of having a lockdown plan, as well as L.E.A.S.T. training (lockdown, evacuation and survival tactics), which he created and now teaches to students and educators across the country. Through L.E.A.S.T., educators and support staff will learn eight tactics that increase your chances for survival during an active shooter incident. You will leave this event session well-trained and confident in your ability to improve school safety.
