Active Shooter Protocols

Active shooter protocols are emergency procedures designed to protect individuals during a situation where a person is actively threatening others with a firearm. The key steps include: 1. **Run** – If it is safe to do so, quickly evacuate the area. 2. **Hide** – If escape isn’t possible, find a safe location to conceal yourself and remain quiet. 3. **Fight** – As a last resort, if confronted, defend yourself against the shooter using available objects as weapons. Always remain aware of your surroundings, listen for instructions from authorities, and report any suspicious behavior immediately. These strategies aim to enhance safety and survival during a crisis.
