Run, Hide, Fight

Run, Hide, Fight is a safety protocol used during active shooter incidents. First, try to run away from the danger if you can do so safely, leaving yourself a clear exit path. If running isn’t possible, find a secure place to hide where the shooter cannot see or reach you, locking or barricading the door if possible. As a last resort, if confronted and no other options exist, fight aggressively to incapacitate the attacker using any available objects. This strategy emphasizes acting quickly and decisively to protect yourself and others during an emergency.
