Unthinkable: Preparedness for 10 Unexpected Situations

A scenario-based course on thinking clearly under stress: vehicle safety, home security, equipment issues and planning ahead so you can avoid or escape danger.

Ten realistic case studies are used to teach preparedness and decision-making rather than confrontation. For each scenario we look at warning signs, ways to avoid or leave the situation, how to call for help, and the safety considerations if a lawfully carried firearm is present. The course stresses that retreat, escape and contacting law enforcement are the preferred outcomes whenever possible.

What you'll learn

  • Recognizing early warning signs and pre-incident indicators
  • Vehicle and parking-lot safety, and escape planning
  • Home security planning and safe rooms
  • Why equipment problems happen and the role of supervised training
  • Situations involving more than one person: avoidance and escape
  • Calling 911 effectively and giving clear information
  • After-action reflection: what could have been avoided
