Evacuate

What is the most important step in an active shooter emergency?

Evacuation is always the best option!

  • Evacuate if there is an accessible escape path.
  • Have an escape route and plan in mind ahead of time.
  • Evacuate regardless of whether others agree to follow.
  • Leave your belongings behind.
  • Help others escape, if possible.
  • Prevent individuals from entering an area where the active shooter may be.
  • Keep your hands visible.
  • Follow the instructions of any police officers.
  • Do not attempt to move wounded people.
