In this post, we discuss “Run, Hide, Fight” active shooter training and what experts recommend doing before, during, and after an active shooter event. Still, with the number of active shooter incidents on the rise, companies must have an active shooter response plan in place. No company ever wants to think about an active shooter situation occurring at their workplace. Whataburger’s commitment to their customers, communities, and employees means that they have plans and procedures in place for even the most horrific of occurrences, which allows them to react and protect people from some of the worst tragedies in modern U.S. Whether the necessary response is to run, hide, or fight, timely awareness of an active shooter threat is critical.
They were able to do so all before police arrived at the scene. They were then able to quickly alert the at-risk restaurant and instruct employees to lock down the building and enact their active shooter protocol. Thanks to Whataburger’s sophisticated emergency mass notification system, Ron’s team was immediately notified of the mass shooting attack while it was still ongoing. Since a Whataburger location shared the parking lot with the Walmart, its employees and customers were also in serious danger.
In an episode of The Employee Safety Podcast, Whataburger’s Senior Emergency Manager, Ron Derrick, recounts the 2019 El Paso Walmart shooting. Whataburger, the beloved Texas fast-food chain, has dealt with all kinds of dangers to its employees across its hundreds of restaurants in multiple states. That’s why training and proper active shooter response protocols can save lives and protect businesses. People in harm’s way have only minutes or even seconds to recognize the threat and get themselves to safety. When an active shooter begins their rampage, there is usually very little warning for those in danger.
