Active Shooter Situational Planning
Action Plan
When an active shooting takes place, everyone is in a crisis mode. Knowing what to do and what not to do can help not only save your life, but also those people around you. Although no one wants to picture an active shooter situation, being prepared is your best line of defense for staying safe and preventing serious injury and/or death. In an era when senseless killings seem to be far too common, the question is: “If you’re the victim of an active shooter, will you know what to do?”
Run
- Have an escape route and plan in mind
- Leave your belongings behind
- Evacuate regardless of whether others wish to or not
- Help others escape, if possible, and DO NOT attempt to move the wounded people
- Prevent others from entering an area where the active shooter may be
- Always keep your hands visible and call 911 when it is SAFE to do so!
Hide
- Hide in an area out of the shooter’s view/sight
- Lock the door or block the entry to your hiding place with heavy items
- SILENCE YOUR CELL PHONE (including the vibrate mode) and REMAIN QUIET
- Try to find something “SOLID” to hide behind!
Fight
- Fight as a LAST RESORT and ONLY when your LIFE is in imminent danger
- Attempt to incapacitate the shooter
- And once you start to fight, COMMIT to your actions…Your LIFE depends on it!
