亚特兰大市为夜生活从业者举办应急培训 市长出席现场演练
亚特兰大市政府与消防部门本周为本地夜生活从业者举办了一场安全与应急培训，市长安德烈·迪肯斯（Andre Dickens）亲自到场，直接听取酒吧、夜店从业者的意见。据福克斯5台（Fox 5 Atlanta）报道，培训于10月7日晚在庞塞德莱昂大道（Ponce de Leon Avenue）上的 Live Nation 公司亚特兰大总部举行，由市长办公室下属的电影、娱乐与夜生活办公室组织。
参加培训的有酒吧业主、调酒师、服务员和安保人员。亚特兰大消防局营长舍温·布朗（Sherwin Brown）现场演示了关键急救技能：如何使用纳洛酮（Narcan）鼻喷剂逆转药物过量，以及如何在严重出血时用止血带加压止血。亚特兰大夜生活顾问委员会成员科特妮·福斯特（Cortney Foster）表示，培训场所员工应对医疗突发状况，能让顾客更安全。她说：“药物滥用在夜生活场所是真实存在的。与其假装它不存在，不如学会在有人陷入危险时如何处理，这更有益。”
迪肯斯市长在现场表示：“我们是一座热爱娱乐的城市。有很多会议、很多体育赛事、很多游客、很多商务人士。”据报道，这场培训是市政府每季度一次的持续项目的一部分，下一场培训安排在几个月后举行。
背景方面，亚特兰大约有两年未在夜店发生大规模伤亡事件。2024年，巴克黑德区（Buckhead）的 Elleven 45 Lounge 发生枪击案，造成2人死亡、6人受伤，迪肯斯市长随后成功推动关闭了该场所。最近一起亚特兰大夜店枪击事件发生在今年7月，地点是东南皮德蒙特路（Piedmont Road SE）上的 Tattletale Lounge，一名男子中枪受伤后幸存。
Atlanta Holds Emergency Training for Nightlife Workers, Mayor Attends Drill
Atlanta city officials and first responders held a safety and emergency training session for local nightlife workers this week, with Mayor Andre Dickens attending in person to hear directly from bar and nightclub professionals. According to Fox 5 Atlanta, the training took place on the evening of Oct. 7 at Live Nation's Atlanta headquarters on Ponce de Leon Avenue, hosted by the Mayor's Office of Film, Entertainment, and Nightlife.
Business owners, bartenders, servers and security personnel took part. Atlanta Fire Battalion Chief Sherwin Brown demonstrated critical emergency skills, including how to administer Narcan nasal spray to reverse drug overdoses and how to apply tourniquets to stop severe bleeding. Cortney Foster of the Atlanta Nightlife Advisory Council said training venue staff to respond to medical emergencies keeps patrons safer, adding: "Drug use is real in the nightlife space. And rather than just trying to pretend it doesn't happen, knowing how to handle it when someone gets in a bad situation is more beneficial."
Mayor Dickens said at the session: "We're a town of people that love to entertain. A lot of conventions, a lot of sporting events, a lot of tourists, a lot of business people." The training is part of an ongoing quarterly initiative, with the next session scheduled in a couple of months.
Atlanta has not experienced a mass casualty incident at a nightclub in approximately two years. In 2024, a shooting at Elleven 45 Lounge in Buckhead killed two people and injured six others, after which Mayor Dickens successfully sought the venue's closure. The most recent nightclub shooting in Atlanta occurred in July at Tattletale Lounge on Piedmont Road SE, where one man was wounded and survived.
