Had some more inquiries on this guide recently. Info on CIG below. There is a small section on "mass shootings/active shooters" and small section on "Continuing IED Incidents".

First Responder Critical Incident Guide identifies key functions that are essential for first responders (Fire, EMS, Law Enforcement, Special Teams, Military, etc.) during the first 10–30 minutes of a “critical incident”. It addresses recognition, identification and response issues that first responders must deal with prior to the arrival of those with specialized training and equipment.

 

Critical Incident Guide (323065) is extremely durable for field use. It is printed on synthetic paper that is tear proof and waterproof and has large readable type for low light and flashlight conditions.

 

In addition to a general overview of first responder responsibilities on the scene of a critical incident, it contains easy-to-follow response procedures for the following incidents.
