Sandy Hook Elementary, Boston Marathon, ricin in the President's mail...


Boston PD dispatch responds quickly, professionally and efficiently. By 8-10 minutes into the first response, they are coordinating with social media and additional agencies (Kit Up!).

Hospital disaster training pays off in treating mass casualty incidents (Boston Globe).

Lessons learned in combat apply: early use of tourniquets, using felt pens to write vital signs on the chest, team decision-making in the OR...(New York Times).

Shrapnel removed in the OR may become physical evidence (MedPage Today).

If we allow terrorists to make us give up liberty for safety or to respond in fear or panic, then the terrorists win (Atlantic).
