FAQs

What is the best course of action if I find myself in an active shooter situation?

The recommended actions are "RUN, HIDE, FIGHT." Run: If there is an escape path, evacuate. Hide: If evacuation is not possible, find a secure hiding place. Fight: As a last resort, and only when your life is in imminent danger, attempt to disrupt or incapacitate the shooter.

What information should I give to a 911 operator during an active shooter incident?

In practical terms, when reporting to emergency services, give all available details, including the shooter's location, number, description, weapons, and the number of people in danger.

How should I behave when law enforcement officers arrive on the scene?

When law enforcement arrives, follow their instructions precisely, keep your hands visible, avoid sudden movements, and do not interfere with their actions.

What makes it important to have a plan before an active shooter incident takes place?

Learners are taught that having a plan helps you react quickly and effectively in a high-stress situation, increasing your chances of survival.

In which location can I find additional resources and training on active shooter preparedness?

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
