Hospital Code Silver Activation – Active Shooter Planning Checklist
In the wake of the Newtown, Connecticut shooting, the CHA
Hospital Preparedness Program (CHA-HPP) released its most
recently developed tool “Hospital Code Silver Activation – Active
Shooter Planning Checklist”. The checklist is provided to support
hospital efforts in reviewing and developing active shooter
response plans.
This resource was initially developed to support the CHA-HPP
course “Planning and Training for Active Shooter Events”.
The tool was developed with key advisements from agencies such as
FEMA, Department of Homeland Security and the International
Association for Healthcare Security and Safety.
Hospitals should direct any questions to Mary Massey at
714-315-0572, or by email at
mmassey@calhospital.org.
