The Office for Victims of Crime (OVC)—in coordination with the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Office for Victim Assistance and Department of Justice's Office of Justice for Victims of Overseas Terrorism—recently released an innovative electronic toolkit, Helping Victims of Mass Violence and Terrorism: Planning, Response, Recovery, and Resources. This multidisciplinary product provides communities with the framework, strategies, and resources to do the following:

Conduct planning and preparation before an incident occurs

Mitigate the effects of future acts on victims

Respond to active incidents

Recover after an incident of mass violence or terrorism occurs

The toolkit serves as a victim-centered resource for a wide range of professionals interested in developing a comprehensive victim-assistance plan to meet the needs of all victims.
