Code Black EAP should be activated in response to which scenario?

• A. System Failure
• B. Fire
• C. Active Threat (i.e. Shooter)
• D. Medical Emergency

Answer: (C)

Code Black is the alert used for an active threat, such as an armed individual in the area. It signals that there is immediate danger and triggers security response, lockdown or secure-in-place measures, and notification to law enforcement so occupants can be protected. It’s the one to use when an active shooter or similar threat is present, not for a fire, medical emergency, or system failure, which have their own distinct codes and procedures. In an active threat, following lockdown protocols and awaiting instructions from authorities is the appropriate response.
