Abstract: A victim initiated mitigation (VIM) system is capable of mitigating the effects of an Active Shooter in a facility such as a high occupancy facility. The VIM system initiates an immediate automated facility lock-down once activated through the use of one or more Victim Initiated units. This lock-down imposes immediate environmental control measures on the facility and constrains the shooter's freedom of movement, as well as protects potential victims behind locked doors. Additionally, immediate automated alerts and notifications are sent to first responders and facility/campus occupants, and command and control functionality is provided via an incident command center.
