Victim-Centric Mass Violence After Action Reports

A primary focus of the National Mass Violence Center is to address the mental health and victim assistance needs of victims, survivors, family members and communities impacted by a mass violence incident. In many communities, After Action Reports — also called After Action Reviews — are generated following MVIs and include a wealth of information about pre-event preparations, acute response and post-event support services. 

These two supporting documents provide in-depth guidance about how to plan and develop an After Action Report while taking victim needs into consideration.
