Saline County Emergency Management is encouraging all local Houses of Worship leaders to attend a training to prepare and recover from an active shooter situation.
These training sessions will be hosted by the Kansas Division of Emergency Management, as two webinars will be held in January.
The first webinar
Active Shooter, Houses of Worship Webinar will be held on January 15, 2026 from 2:00 pm—3:00 pm.
Houses of Worship are often considered a soft target for active shooter incidents.
While congregations want to be open and practice hospitality to all, there is also a need to prepare for the worst-case scenario.
In this training, areas of focus are on why Houses of Worship need to prepare, warning signs of known individuals, and how radical hospitality may play a role in deterring an active shooter incident. The Run-Hide-Fight method is discussed in terms of individual responses.

The second webinar
Active Shooter Recovery, Houses of Worship Webinar will be held on January 22, 2026 from 2:00 pm—3:00 pm.
Recovery is a continuous process that occurs over short and long-term incremental phases.
Following an incident, the message that your congregations portray will be a powerful indication of who you are. Recovery is a process – don’t rush it!
