Emergency Readiness




What To Do

An active-shooter emergency can develop without warning. Focus first on creating distance from danger, finding effective cover, communicating only when it is safe, and following instructions from responding law-enforcement officers.

  • Move to safety: Move away from the sound of gunfire and find solid cover.
  • Secure your location: Hide out of sight, lock or block entry points, silence your phone, and call 911 when it is safe to speak.
  • Run: Leave the danger area when a safe route is available. Do not stop to collect belongings.
  • Hide: Lock or block entry points, move away from windows, silence devices, and remain quiet.
  • Defend: As a last resort and only when your life is in immediate danger, act decisively to disrupt the attacker.
