Mass violence incidents are becoming all too common in today’s world. The needs of victims, families, and communities following these incidents are vast and varied.

To help communities understand the mass violence response structure and common needs of victims, presenters will recount the events surrounding the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival Shooting in Las Vegas, Nevada, focusing on how victims were impacted by both the incident and response.

This case study is an opportunity to delve into best practices and lessons learned from experts who were directly involved in Las Vegas response efforts. Attendees will have an opportunity to ask questions to gain a better understanding of mass violence response and their role in planning and responding to events in their community.
