California Mass Shooting (Planning and Response Resources)
Reported that eight killed and 1 wounded in Seal Beach, California during possible domestic violence related rampage. Our thoughts and prayers for the victims and families of this week's attack.
This tragic incident should again be a reminder to all public safety responders and emergency management that active shooters/mass violence/targeted attacks continues to be a current and emerging threat. Again I have attached some links for resources (videos, articles, plans, etc.) to help planners, public safety responders and crisis management teams prepare for these incidents.
Post Blast/Active Shooter Reference Card
The National Association of State EMS Officials (NASEMSO) has posted a new reference card (PDF, 244 Kb) for “Post Blast/Active Shooter” scenarios on its website.
The reference card discusses the formation of a Unified Command and explosive evacuation guidelines. It also includes a 3E Job Aid explaining the three steps (i.e., enter, evaluate, evacuate) for post blast and active shooter incidents.
