Amanda Cone, Lennika King, Ray Liu, and Jessica Rodriguez’s Emergency Operations Plan for Services d’Aide Médicale Urgente (SAMU) for Mass Shooting

Introduction: This Emergency Operations Plan was created to provide guidance on responding to mass shootings in Paris, France. Although mass shootings are not nearly as common in France as they are in the United States, they are not infrequent either. More recently, mass shootings in France –– particularly those occurring in Paris –– have been tied to terrorism. In the event of an active shooter incident or any other connected emergency or disaster that could affect the country or any of its residents, Services d’Aide Médicale Urgente (SAMU) is required to respond and take action. In some cases, this response requires joint efforts between fire and rescue services as well.
