Mass Violence

Mass violence incidents require efficiency and coordination among multiple response entities. Efforts may need to be directed toward doing the greatest good for the greatest amount of people, which is counter to day-to-day trauma triage. These ASPR TRACIE-developed resources can help our stakeholders prepare for, respond to, and help their communities recover from these traumatic events. If you are unable to find what you are looking for, or if you would like to submit a resource for possible inclusion, contact our Assistance Center.
