active shooter response plans

Active shooter response plans are strategies to protect yourself during an armed attack. They typically include three key steps: "Run" if possible, immediately fleeing the area to escape danger; "Hide" if escape isn't feasible, finding a secure place to barricade and remain quiet; and "Fight" as a last resort, confronting the attacker only if no other options exist. These plans emphasize awareness, quick decision-making, and cooperation with others to increase safety and survival chances during such incidents. Proper training and preparedness help individuals respond effectively and reduce harm.
