For those concerned about safety and security in Houses of Worship:

A lot of attention has been directed to the threat of active shooters but it is important to consider all hazards in safety and security planning. The U.S. Fire Administration reports:

"Each year from 2020 to 2022, an estimated average of 1,300 fires in places of worship were reported to fire departments in the U.S. These fires resulted in an estimated annual average of $74.6 million in property loss. The leading cause of fires in places of worship was cooking (33%), but intentional actions accounted for an additional 15%."

Local police and fire departments should work closely with their houses of worship to ensure that they have well designed all-hazards plans and the training to carry out those plans in an emergency. This course is designed to help all stakeholders in the faith community who want to make this happen:

COMMUNITY ALERT: Police in Boston are warning the public to beware of a group of fraudsters who are targeting women in parking lots, stealing thousands of dollars through charity scams involving deceased children.

This is a horrible milestone. This is why our Autism related training programs put such a heavy emphasis on Elopement prevention and response.

These incidents need to be treated as life and death emergencies with a large scale immediate response. You can always call off the responders if you are fortunate enough to quickly find the child.

Agencies need in-house expertise to help with prevention and response strategies.

Children with autism can be prone to wandering and are often drawn to water. Parents are often faced with the burden on their own.

It happens from homes, schools, and every kind of supervised setting, even with the most attentive parents, teachers, relatives, and police officers.

It happens to those who can swim, and those who cannot.

It happens during the day, overnight, in cold or warm water, shallow or deep, murky or clear -- even with the very best safety measures in place.

Here’s how the public can help save lives:

Stay alert: If you see a child alone, don’t assume they’re safe. Inquire, ask if they need help, or alert someone nearby.

Check your surroundings: If a child with autism is reported missing in your area, check nearby water, like ponds, lakes, rivers, or pools immediately. In urban or densely populated areas where natural water is limited, thoroughly check parked cars by opening doors and looking inside. Children and adults may seek out enclosed, quiet spaces.

Raise awareness: Share this message. Many don’t know that wandering is a leading cause of death for autistic children, even those who have a child with autism or are awaiting a diagnosis.

Support families: Offer practical help, such as providing or funding safety tools like home security systems, GPS or radio frequency trackers, or secure fencing. If you’re part of a YMCA or similar organization, offer adaptive swim lessons tailored to children with autism. Attending an event or gathering with a family of a child with autism? Volunteer to keep a close, watchful eye -- they need constant, hyper-vigilant supervision in unfamiliar settings.

Act fast: If a person with autism goes missing, call 911 immediately. Time is critical.

Always
