Summary:Peck discusses the need for cities to prepare for mass shootings and highlights the role of mayors in responding to such incidents. She mentions the research conducted by the Public Health Advocacy Institute, which studied six cities that had experienced mass shootings. The institute interviewed various stakeholders, including mayors, law enforcement officials, and representatives from organizations like the American Red Cross and the FBI Victims Services Division. The research findings were used to develop tools for city officials, including the Mass Shooting Protocol and the Mass Shooting Playbook. The Mass Shooting Protocol is a four-page guide for mayors and their staff to use in the first 24 hours after a mass shooting, while the Mass Shooting Playbook is a 200-page resource to help cities prepare for, respond to, and recover from such incidents.
