You're right - we're in coastal NC, but even from a distance, it didn't seem too far off.

Just an idea here, but a fellow veteran I'm connected with owns/runs a company called Crisis Response Group, see more at https://www.crgplans.com. CRG essentially maps an entire building (school, hospital, etc) for ease of use by first responders to expedite the hard work of clearing a threat/providing life saving care.

Now, I imagine a school board/district would have to be shown a demo, allocate funds for the service, etc., but bringing this service up with your school is well worth the eventual priceless peace of mind for you and other families.

If you're interested, let me know if you need some help connecting with CRG and I can make that happen.

Take care.
