Run Hide Fight

RUN. WHEN AN ACTIVE SHOOTER IS IN YOUR VICINITY:

If there is an escape path, attempt to evacuate
Evacuate whether others agree to or not
Leave your belongings behind
Help others escape if possible
Prevent others from entering the area
Call 9-1-1 when you are safe

HIDE. IF AN EVACUATION IS NOT POSSIBLE, FIND A PLACE TO HIDE:

Lock and/or blockade the door
Silence your cell phone
Hide behind large objects
Remain very quiet

Your hiding place should:

Be out of the shooter’s view
Provide protection if shots are fired in your direction
Not trap or restrict your options for movement

FIGHT. AS A LAST RESORT, AND ONLY IF YOUR LIFE IS IN DANGER:

Attempt to incapacitate the shooter
Act with physical aggression
Improvise weapons
Commit to your actions

Read the Active Shooter: How to Respond booklet by the Department of Homeland Security.
