    InfraGardNCR Webinar Series – “Virginia Tech: A Survivor’s Perspective”

    InfraGardNCR “Be a good neighbor” webinar series – preparing for and responding to active shooters

    Virginia Tech: A Survivor’s Perspective

    In the study of mass shootings, the perspective of survivors adds an important element of understanding for our law enforcement, mental health professionals, and our larger communities, to better understand how to increase our prevention, response, and recovery capabilities. In this session, Ms. Hamp, as a student from the only classroom to successfully prevent multiple entry attempts during the Virginia Tech school shooting, will share her personal experience during and after the shooting. She discusses best practices for active shooter prevention, considerations for crisis and emergency preparedness, guidelines for thinking about safety, and considerations for rebuilding communities after a tragedy. She discusses the long-term psychological impact of witnessing mass violence, and considerations for short and long-term recovery.

    May 30, 2019, 12:30 PM in Central Time (US and Canada)
