ALICE Recovery Ops 5

Question 1

What is the recommended timeframe for a school to conduct a formal debrief meeting with staff after an active threat incident?

Accepted Answer

Within 24-72 hours after the incident, once immediate safety is restored

Answer

A structured staff debrief within 24-72 hours captures fresh observations while allowing enough time for acute stress to subside slightly.

Question 2

Which of the following best describes 'operational security' (OPSEC) concerns during a post-incident reunification?

Accepted Answer

Limiting sensitive information about incident details and victim identities shared publicly

Answer

OPSEC during recovery means controlling what information is shared publicly to protect victim privacy, ongoing investigations, and school security vulnerabilities.

Question 3

How should staff handle a student who refuses to leave the reunification site with their verified parent due to apparent emotional distress?

Accepted Answer

Involve a crisis counselor to support the student and facilitate a safe transition

Answer

A crisis counselor can provide trauma-sensitive support that helps the student feel safe enough to transition, rather than using force or indefinite delay.

Question 4

In long-term recovery, what is the purpose of 'anniversary reactions' awareness training for school staff?

Accepted Answer

To prepare staff to recognize and support students who experience trauma resurgence around the incident anniversary

Answer

Anniversary reactions are predictable spikes in trauma symptoms around the date of an incident, and staff awareness allows for proactive support rather than reactive crisis response.

Question 5

What is the role of the school's Public Information Officer (PIO) during post-incident recovery?

Accepted Answer

To serve as the single, authorized voice providing consistent, accurate information to the media and public

Answer

The PIO prevents misinformation by serving as the sole authorized communicator, ensuring all public statements are accurate, coordinated, and protect victim privacy.
