- If gunshots are heard, and escape is ill advised, lay on the floor, using heavy objects such as tables, desks, or filing cabinets for protection.
- If outdoors, move as far away from any building where a threat is present and enter the nearest safe building.
- If there are no buildings, lie near or hide behind trees or walls, and listen for emergency personnel instruction and/or Giant Voice alerts.
- For Active Shooter Incidents, DO NOT CALL ANY BUILDING WHERE THE INCIDENT MAY BE TAKING PLACE. Phone calls to anyone inside the building under threat may endanger them, draw undue attention toward the ring, and give away hiding locations.
- Stay in your safe area until emergency personnel has opened the door.
