Slide Notes
If an active shooter event happened right now, who here feels prepared?
We are discussing tactics so that we can all be better prepared in the case of an active shooter, or violent, event occurs. Being mentally prepared will save you a lot of time. If you only have one minute to get to safety, you want to spend as little time as possible finding where to go.

- Discussing survival strategy is serious, intense, and may feel somewhat uncomfortable
- You may feel pulled towards helping others before yourself
- The first thing to remember is you are your first priority
- See something, say something
- Be aware of your environment and exit routes

Talking about this can feel a little weird, but it should. Many of us tend to forget about ourselves and help others, and having to tell you not to think that way feels a bit cold hearted and insensitive, but there is no way you can help even one other person if you are not taking care of yourself first.
If you see someone you think may have a gun on them, say something. It is posted in several places in the building that we don't allow firearms.
If you see someone acting suspicious, say something. Even if you think you may be reading too much into it, being wrong is better than being right and not telling anyone.
Look around, do your windows open? What does the path to the front door look like from your office? How difficult is it for you to get out of your office, or hide in your office? These are things you want to think about. The less your brain has to work on figuring those things out, the more time you can focus on getting to safety, or even helping others if you are already safe.

- If there is an accessible escape path, attempt to evacuate the building. Be sure to:
- Have an escape route and plan in mind
- Help others escape, if possible
- Evacuate regardless of whether others agree to follow
- Leave belongings
Use objects around you to get out. Eventually we would like to have emergency kits at the designated safe points, but until that, if you can't get a window open and you're on the first floor, break a window.

hide
- If your escape route is not safe, find a place to hide
- Block/barricade your door
- Silence your cell phone
- Hide behind the largest objects in the room
- Remain as quiet as possible

fight
- As last resort, ONLY IF YOUR LIFE IS IN ABSOLUTE AND IMMEDIATE DANGER:
- Attempt to incapacitate the shooter
- Act with physical aggression
- Commit to your actions. Once started, do not hesitate-they won't.
Find objects around you to use as weapons

- Active shooter events are often over before law enforcement arrive
- Your survival can depend on how mentally and physically prepared you are
- If you are in an area unfamiliar to you, quickly go to the right, find the nearest room and go inside. Fall back into run- hide- fight protocol.
- Many events are random, therefore impossible to predict every scenario

When you are safe and if you have your cell phone, call 911. Only if certain people have been designated to call 911, which is not currently the case, would you not call 911. Don't assume someone else already has.
Be sure you know the address to the building you are in.
Try to be as calm as you can when speaking to the operator.
If they cannot understand you, it'll be harder to help.

After
- When police arrive, do not approach them-they do not know which person is the shooter
- Keep hands visible and empty
- Help injured to safety if in immediate danger. If injured is unconcious, turn them on their side
- Apply first aid, pressure on wound or tourniqute if you are trained to do so
