ALICE Alert Protocols 3

Question 1

In ALICE training, what is the purpose of providing ongoing narrative updates after the initial alert?

Accepted Answer

To keep occupants informed so they can continuously reassess their response options

Answer

Ongoing updates empower individuals to make real-time decisions as the situation evolves rather than acting on outdated information.

Question 2

A visitor at a school hears an ALICE alert. According to ALICE principles, the visitor should:

Accepted Answer

Follow the same response options available to anyone: evacuate, lockdown, or counter

Answer

ALICE response options apply to everyone in the building, including visitors, who should act based on their circumstances and the information provided.

Question 3

Which type of alert message best aligns with ALICE guidelines?

Accepted Answer

'There is an active shooter near the gymnasium, east hallway, moving north'

Answer

ALICE recommends specific, plain-language descriptions of the threat location and movement to enable informed decision-making.

Question 4

Why does ALICE discourage using a single designated 'safe room' as the universal alert response?

Accepted Answer

A single safe room can become a trap if the threat moves to that location

Answer

Directing everyone to one location concentrates potential victims and can create a high-casualty target if the threat reaches that area.

Question 5

An ALICE alert mentions the threat is on the second floor. A person on the ground floor near an exit should PRIMARILY consider:

Accepted Answer

Evacuating through the nearby exit since the threat is distant

Answer

When the threat is distant and an exit is nearby, evacuation is typically the safest ALICE response option for that individual.
