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.
