Back by popular demand! Due to the increasing nature of active shooter incidents, EMS World Expo has invited New Orleans EMS tactical medics to share best practices and components of the agency's All Hazard Plan, including Active Shooter, School Shootings and Tactical SWAT Response.

Participants will have the opportunity to first observe proper sift-and-sort procedures with a focus on force protection and integration of law enforcement, fire and EMS. Participants will then practice those procedures in small groups and improve skills in hemorrhage control and tourniquet use, pressure dressings, needle decompression and other wound care methods encountered in this type of environment. The session will conclude with a short debrief to discuss challenges encountered while participating in the simulation.
