Florida Matters Preview: EMS Response To Active Shooters Since Pulse

WMFE

49 people were killed in the Pulse Nightclub shooting in 2016. But an investigation from Health News Florida's Abe Aboraya and Pro Publica finds some people may have survived if paramedics had been allowed inside the club sooner.

This week on Florida Matters we hear that story and talk about how response efforts have changed since the massacre.

In this preview host Robin Sussingham talks with John Montes, an expert with the National Fire Protection Association. The group released new standards this year for responding to active shootings.

Robin Sussingham was Senior Editor at WUSF until September 2020.
I cover health care for WUSF and the statewide journalism collaborative Health News Florida. I’m passionate about highlighting community efforts to improve the quality of care in our state and make it more accessible to all Floridians. I’m also committed to holding those in power accountable when they fail to prioritize the health needs of the people they serve.
