Active Shooter Preparedness

Active Shooter – Run, Hide, Fight

CALL 9-1-1

If you hear gunfire, take cover immediately. Your best chance to avoid injury is to remove yourself from sight. This can be done in several ways:

• If confronted while sitting or standing, immediately fall to the floor
• If walking down a hallway, move around a corner and look for an open door in which to hide
• When outdoors, get behind a tree and do not leave until police indicate it is safe
• If in a parking lot, get down behind the engine area of a car near the front wheel
• Close, lock, and barricade (if possible) all doors leading to where you are hiding
• If a classroom is equipped with blackout curtains or shades, close them and turn off the lights

 

Lockdown – Shelter in Place

If a lockdown is initiated, please follow these procedures:

• Close and lock all doors and windows immediately. If unable to lock a door, block it with heavy furniture if possible
• Account for all individuals in the room and notify administrators of any missing or additional individuals
• Assist individuals with special needs as appropriate
• Do not open doors or windows unless directed by a safety or college official; request identification before complying
• Turn off lights and close blinds or curtains
• Stay low, away from doors and windows, remain quiet, and silence all electronic devices
