Remember; Run, Hide or Fight.

RUN: Wherever you go, be aware of alternate exits. Quickly and cautiously evacuate in a direction away from the attacker.

Don't hesitate. Seconds matter.

Remember windows and emergency exits.

Leave belongings behind.

Keep your empty hands raised and clearly visible when exiting a building.

Follow all instructions from the police.

Don't stop until you're sure you've reached a safe location.

HIDE: If there is no safe escape route, find a good hiding place.

Lock and barricade the door.

Silence cell phones.

Prepare a defense plan.

FIGHT:  Fight only as a last resort.

Use available objects as improvised weapons.

Use teamwork and surprise. A coordinated ambush can incapacitate an attacker.

You're fighting for your life.

Don't fight fair!

STOP THE BLEED: A victim can die of uncontrolled blood loss in 5 minutes or less.

Apply pressure or a tourniquet to control severe bleeding.
