The Chain of Survival: Responding to an Active Attack

By J. Pete Blair and M. Hunter Martaindale

The Chain of Survival provides a comprehensive framework for improving responses to active attack events. This book introduces the "Chain of Survival," a conceptual model that outlines the critical phases necessary for transforming potential attack victims into survivors, emphasizing the importance of speed and coordinated action across five key links: Civilian Response, Law Enforcement Response, Stabilization, Transport, and Definitive Care. Grounded in both practical experience and resilience engineering theory, the book seeks to equip civilians and first responders with the knowledge and strategies needed to anticipate, monitor, and effectively respond to active attacks, ultimately aiming to minimize casualties and avoid preventable deaths. Through a detailed exploration of data and real-world scenarios, this book focuses on both stopping the killing and stopping the dying, offering actionable insights for enhancing emergency response protocols.
