holding a remembrance ceremony. Past events have included an emergency preparedness preparation, AARP sponsored
and service projects directly aimed at aiding first responders, veterans, and their families. Let us never forget the horrific

City of Richmond’s Office of Emergency Management
The City of Richmond’s Office of Emergency Management (Fire and
Emergency Services) seeks to prepare, mitigate, respond, and recover
from disasters. This is done by educating citizens, employees, and
businesses in the City of Richmond and also by maintaining
relationships with federal, state, and other local emergency
management organizations. Having a disaster supply kit is an
important step in being prepared for an emergency or disaster. Go to

Active Shooter Security Training
Active shooter situations are unpredictable and evolve quickly. The goal
of Active Shooter Security Training is to equip people with the latest
life-saving preparedness training.

CodeRED
The CodeRED Emergency Notification System is used to send
emergency notifications to the general public, including evacuation
notices, missing child alerts, and other notifications considered to be
important. It enables Richmond City to provide mass notifications in
emergency situations.

Pulsepoint App
PulsePoint allows users to view and receive alerts on calls being
responded to by fire departments and emergency medical services,
enabling every day citizens to help others experiencing sudden cardiac
arrest by providing lifesaving CPR and defibrillation until emergency
responders arrive.

Stop the Bleed
Stop the Bleed is a National Awareness campaign intended to
encourage bystanders to become trained, equipped, and empowered
to help in a bleeding emergency before professional help arrives.

Hands-Only CPR
Hands-Only CPR is CPR without mouth to mouth breaths. It is
recommended for use by people who see a teen or adult suddenly
collapse in an “out-of-hospital” setting (such as a home, at work or in a
park). When a person suffers a cardiac arrest, survival depends on
immediately receiving Hands-Only CPR from someone nearby.

Vision Zero
The Vision Zero initiative aims to change the mindset that fatalities and
serious injuries are inevitable and that traffic related deaths and
serious injuries are preventable. The goal is to eliminate all traffic
fatalities and injuries while increasing safe, healthy, equitable mobility
for all.

Rider Alert
The Rider Alert motorcycle-safety program was launched in Richmond,
Virginia on April 12, 2011. The program, designed to help save lives,
provides free identification data cards that will help first responders
provide rapid and accurate medical assistance to motorcyclists involved
in serious accidents.
