With the majority of NYC buildings occupied by multiple tenants, regarding active shooter emergency preparedness, a FLS Director should:

• A. Assure that the applicable portions of the building FDNY Plan are shared with all tenants through proper training and scheduled drills
• B. Keep the FDNY plan confidential
• C. Only share with management
• D. Provide the plan in a one-time email

Answer: (A)

The main idea tested is that in buildings with many tenants, active shooter preparedness works best when the plan is understood and practiced by everyone who may be affected. Sharing the applicable portions of the FDNY Plan with all tenants and reinforcing that information through proper training and scheduled drills translates the plan into real, actionable steps. Tenants learn exactly what to do when alerts go out, whether to shelter in place or evacuate, how to move safely through the building, and who to report to or coordinate with. Drills turn knowledge into habit, reveal gaps in procedures, and build confidence so responses are swift and coordinated with building staff and first responders. Keeping the plan confidential or limiting access to management leaves occupants uninformed and unprepared, which can slow reaction times and create chaos during an emergency. A one-time email is insufficient for retention and practice; ongoing training and repeated drills are necessary to ensure people know their roles and can act decisively when it matters most.
