10. Planning & PreparationYour survival in an active shooter event may depend on whether you have a plan. The plan doesn’t have to be complicated. There are three things you can do to make a difference: Run – Avoid Hide – Deny Fight – Distract, Disrupt, & Disarm
11. runAlways try to evacuate. Encourage others to leave with you, but don’t let them slow you down with indecision. Remember what’s important: YOU, not your stuff. Leave your belongings behind. If there is an escape path, attempt to evacuateEvacuate whether others agree to or notLeave your belongings behindHelp others if possiblePrevent others from entering the areaCall 9-1-1 when you are safe
12. HideIf you can’t get out safely, you need to find a place to hide. Act quickly and quietly. If you can’t find a safe room or closet, try to conceal yourself behind large objects that may protect you.Lock and/or blockade the door Silence your cell phone & turn off the lightsHide behind large objectsRemain calm and very quietYour hiding place should be out of the shooter’s view (concealment), it should provide you with protection from bullets (cover), and it should not trap or restrict you
13. FightAs a last resort, if your life is at risk, whether you are alone or working together as a group, fight! Act with aggression. Improvise weapons. Disarm the shooter and commit to taking the shooter down, no matter what.Attempt to incapacitate the shooterAct with physical aggressionImprovise weaponsCommit to your actionsDistract, Disrupt, and Disarm
14. What to expect: Information to give to 9-1-1Location of shooter(s)Number of shooter(s)Physical description of shooter(s)Number and type of weapons held by shooter(s)Number of potential victims at location
15. The first responders on the scene are NOT there to evacuate or tend to the injured. They are well-trained, and are there to stop the shooter. What to expect: When Law Enforcement ArrivesRemain calm and follow instructionsKeep your hands visible at all timesAvoid pointing or yellingKnow that help for the injured is on the way
