Accordingly, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security cannot make any guarantees or war  \nranties as to the effectiveness of the Tool. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security does not endorse any person, product,  \nservice, or enterprise. References to specific agencies, companies, products, or services therefore should not be considered an  \nendorsement by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Rather, the references are illustrations to supplement discussion  \nof the issues.

Security and safety planning is a continuous process. Consider using the SSAT regularly, or whenever your school experiences substantial changes in relevant threats or in safety or security plans or capabilities. More information about the SSAT structure and limitations can be found in the accompanying User Guide and Technical Appendix.  \nWHO SHOULD USE THESSAT?  \nThe primary audience for the tool are users that lead or support school physical security. The tool is designed for users of varying levels of expertise, including district leaders and school administrators. Teams that consist of school or district leaders, local first responders or law enforcement officers, security experts, and community members can also use the SSAT to support school physical security efforts.  \nHOW DO I ACCESS THESSAT?  \nThe SSAT is a web-based tool that can be used with most popular Internet browsers, such as Chrome or Microsoft Edge. It can be used on a desktop computer, tablet, or smartphone. The app runs entirely locally on an internet browser—no information is sent or stored remotely. You can also save the information you have entered locally, and reload this data the next time you use the SSAT.  \nHOW ISTHESSAT STRUCTURED?  \nThe SSAT takes a systems-based approach to school security, which means that physical security is one component of the broader school safety system. The SSAT prompts you to think holistically about how security equipment, site and building design features, personnel assigned to security roles, policies, and training programs work together across your school’s campus to detect, delay, and respond to threats. The SSAT organizes the school physical security system into four layers—the grounds perimeter, the school grounds, the building perimeter, and the building interior—and analyzes your school’s security system across layers, which can help you avoid gaps and guard against single points of failure.  \nWHAT WILL YOU LEARN FROM THESSAT?  \nThe SSAT will help you identify the physical security assets already in place at your school, and the gaps in your physical security system. The results that it provides are actionable, relevant to your school’s context, consider cost implications as well as the impact that security measures may have on school climate, and aim to increase the overall security benefits of your school’s entire physical security system.  \nHOW TO USETHESSAT  \nFollow the steps outlined in the figure below.  \nChoose a Scenario  \nSelect one of several available threat scenarios from smaller scale to high consequence incidents  \nSafety a","cbCaicLCVZu3pGKT","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicLCVZu3pGKT","pdf",2140509,14,"English","en",105,"# Quick-Start Guide\n## Who should use the SSAT?\n## How do I access the SSAT?\n## How is the SSAT structured?\n## What will you learn from the SSAT?\n## How to use the SSAT\n## What do the results mean?\n## Limitations of the SSAT","[{\"question\":\"Who is the primary audience for the SSAT Quick-Start Guide?\",\"answer\":\"The primary audience includes users who lead or support school physical security, including district leaders, school administrators, and teams with local first responders, law enforcement, security experts, and community members.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the SSAT web-based tool work in terms of data handling?\",\"answer\":\"The SSAT runs entirely locally in an internet browser, and no information is sent or stored remotely.
