Risk in 2018
Risk in 2018 Fire / Smoke Bushfire Bomb Threat Risk in 2018 Fire / Smoke Bushfire Bomb Threat Chemical Hazard / Gas Leak Severe Weather Cyclone Armed Intrusion Animal Threat Active Shooter / Armed Offender Terrorism Child Custody Issue Suicide Death Incident at School Camp Off-Campus Vehicle Accident Bullying / Cyber Bullying Criminal Acts Loss of facilities Crowded places pose a broad range of security challenges / are identified as attractive targets by those wishing to engage in terrorism, as well as disgruntled or mentally impaired individuals. Response The primary objective of any initial response planning should be to minimise the offender’s access to victims. Therefore owners and operators should develop and practise strategies aimed at evacuating people and isolating the offender. ESCAPE HIDE: (includes take action) TELL: The more information people can pass on to the police or owners and operators the better, but NEVER at the expense of an individual’s own safety or the safety of others. Crowded places are locations which are easily accessible by large numbers of people on a predictable basis. Layered Security Security is more cost effective when incorporated into the design phase of a crowded place.
