A pre-planned, integrated response by all first responder disciplines is critical to maximize effectiveness and improve the survivability of those injured in active shooter, IED and complex attacks. As many communities have already established integrated response programs there's no reason for any jurisdiction to reinvent the wheel. While there's no one-size fits all solution to the challenge of integrated response, there are already model communities of different sizes and compositions.

This one-pager from DHS's Office of Health Affairs includes links to a variety of resources in these areas:

• Integrated response (culture change)
• Hemorrhage control (early care saves lives)
• Prevailing response models and concepts
• Bystander preparedness and response
• Grant opportunities
