Mass Casualty Events and Terrorism

Mass Casualty Events and Terrorism

Mass casualty and terrorist events are tragic and complex, putting strain on local resources and response capabilities at the exact time a coordinated, multijurisdictional response is required. Moreover, they can have a lasting impact on the physical and mental health of responders and community members long after the event has occurred. The IACP has developed a host of resources designed to assist law enforcement in the prevention, response to, and aftermath of mass casualty and terrorist events.
