The OVC TTAC Helping Victims of Mass Violence & Terrorism: Planning, Response, Recovery, & Resources Toolkit web-based training series continues with an indepth look at the Notification victim assistance protocol. While the process of delivering death notifications is similar for a single homicide or a mass violence incident, there are also some unique aspects of mass fatalities that should be considered. This training is an opportunity to learn more about:

• The factors related to delivering mass violence death notifications

• The dynamics of death notification teams

• The training needs of death notification teams

• How to integrate a trauma-informed approach

Lessons learned from previous incidents consistently underscore that all response & recovery efforts are more effective when:

• Organizational roles are defined prior to the incident

• Relationships are in place to create a more efficient response & faster recovery

• There is a planned & comprehensive communications management strategy that focuses on communication among all responders, with victims & survivors, & with the community during the response & recovery phases.

Please plan to join one of the scheduled webinars to learn more about this essential victim assistance protocol.
