ALICE Scenario Assessment 3

Question 1

During an ALICE scenario debrief, a participant asks why the training uses realistic, specific information in alerts rather than vague codes like 'Code Red.' What is the ALICE rationale?

Accepted Answer

Specific information — such as location and description — enables people to make better informed decisions

Answer

ALICE Alert emphasizes broadcasting specific, actionable information so individuals can assess their situation and choose the best response.

Question 2

A participant in an ALICE course presents this scenario: a threat is heard but not seen, and the alarm has not sounded. What should an individual do first?

Accepted Answer

Initiate the Alert themselves by notifying others and calling 911 with specific information

Answer

ALICE empowers any individual to initiate the Alert phase — do not wait for an official announcement when a credible threat is perceived.

Question 3

In a scenario assessment, a threat is confirmed in a large university lecture hall with 200 students. The nearest exits are behind the threat. What is the BEST ALICE-aligned option for students?

Accepted Answer

Students barricade, prepare to counter as a group, and use windows or alternate exits if available

Answer

When exits are blocked by the threat, ALICE directs occupants to barricade, counter collectively, and use any alternate escape routes.

Question 4

Which scenario BEST demonstrates the ALICE principle of 'Inform' in action during an active threat?

Accepted Answer

An administrator continuously broadcasts updated threat location via intercom as information becomes available

Answer

ALICE Inform means providing ongoing, real-time updates about the threat so occupants can continuously reassess their options.

Question 5

A trainer presents a scenario where a small group is sheltering in a room and the threat attempts to open the door. One participant suggests freezing and remaining silent. How does ALICE address this?

Accepted Answer

It is partially correct, but ALICE also requires barricading the door and preparing to Counter if the door is breached

Answer

While quiet may be appropriate, ALICE also requires barricading and a pre-planned Counter response in case the threat breaches the room.
