Session: Response to 2017 Las Vegas Shooting - Lessons Learned from a Private Sector Perspective
The Las Vegas shooting on October 1, 2017, was the deadliest mass shooting incident in U.S. history. The tragedy has had a profound impact on the victims, families, and the community. The incident itself tested the strength and resilience of law enforcement and first responders who rushed in to help that day. This session takes you away from a review of the traditional tactical and operational response to a mass casualty event and focuses on the lessons learned from a private sector company perspective. MGM Resorts International was at the center of the Las Vegas shooting. As owners of the Mandalay Bay Resort, as well as the site where the Route 91 Music Festival was hosted along the Las Vegas Strip, MGM was the company in the middle of the response and aftermath. This session takes you into a review of lessons that can assist to better protect and educate your business and key stakeholders if a mass casualty incident occurs. Participants will gain a comprehensive perspective, from processes in place to detect risks and threats, to an understanding of the importance of communication and protecting your brand reputation while supporting the community through a tragedy as part of your business continuity plan.
