But many hotels overlook the need for regular active shooter drills, but the reality is that preparedness can save lives. Our hotel conducts monthly simulations, allowing staff to familiarize themselves with emergency protocols and each other’s roles in a crisis. I want to start a discussion about how often other hotels are practicing these drills and what approaches have proven effective.
I get how confusing these changes can be. I recently had to navigate the VA site too, and I found it helpful to call their support line. They were able to clarify my eligibility quickly, which saved me a lot of time.
We hold quarterly drills, and it’s great how it helps everyone get on the same page. It’s like practicing for a play — everyone has to know their lines to really shine in a crisis. @garcia_lu84, how often does your hotel do these drills?
