A Toolkit For Providing Victim Services
A resource for every moment, for every community.
The purpose of the Toolkit is two-fold: to help communities plan for a Mass Violence Incident (MVI) and to guide a community through a victim-centered response.
The intended user is a community leader helping organize the response. It should be used in conjunction with the local emergency management response plans.
Many lessons have been learned from MVIs that have occurred across the country. Those lessons, as well as the knowledge from our local leaders and Alaska Native Elders are incorporated into this toolkit.
The toolkit is divided into five sections. Cultural mindfulness and trauma-informed guidance are provided each step:
- Pre-Incident Planning and Partnerships,
- Incident in Progress,
- Post-Incident Response,
- Recovery & Long Term Support and
- Additional Resources for Victims, Organizations, etc.
