According to the scuttle on the upper lists, none so far, although they 
are all pretty shook up. Such a tragedy. :(

Thea is correct in her assessment stated below:

Each event is different and each event has it's own needs, which is 
probably why there are no hard-line guidelines written down. The 
specific SCA offices are set up to work together to resolve those 
issues. I would contact those individuals if you are looking to create 
an emergency plan.

No matter what the event or situation. Life threatening and large 
incidents they are resolved by directly DIALING 911. Let the 
professionals handle it.
