Emergency Action Planning n Active Shooter Situations n Run, Hide, Fight n Run and escape if possible n Getting away from the shooter or shooters is the top priority. n n n Call 911 when you are safe, and describe shooter, location, and weapons. n n n Leave your belongings behind and get away. Help others escape, if possible, but evacuate regardless of whether others agree to follow. 850 -644 -1234 gets you directly to FSU police 911 calls may have to be rerouted to FSU police Warn and prevent individuals from entering an area where the active shooter may be. 66

Emergency Action Planning n Active Shooter Situations n Run, Hide, Fight n Hide if escape is not possible n n n Don’t hide in groups- spread out along walls or hide separately to make it more difficult for the shooter. Your hiding place should be out of the shooter's view and provide protection if shots are fired in your direction. Silence all electronic devices and make sure they won’t vibrate. Lock and block doors, close blinds, and turn off lights. Try to communicate with police silently. Use text message or social media to tag your location, or put a sign in a window. Stay in place until law enforcement gives you the all clear. 67

Emergency Action Planning n Active Shooter Situations n Run, Hide, Fight n Fight as an absolute last resort n n Commit to your actions and act as aggressively as possible against the shooter. Recruit others to ambush the shooter with makeshift weapons like chairs, fire extinguishers, scissors, books, etc. Be prepared to cause severe or lethal injury to the shooter. Throw items and improvise weapons to distract and disarm the shooter. 68

Emergency Action Planning n Active Shooter Situations n Before an incident occurs, make a plan n Sign up to receive local emergency alerts and register your work and personal contact information with any work sponsored alert system. n n KNOW YOUR LOCATION in case your have to communicate it to 911 n n Physical address, FSU Building # ALWAYS look for the two nearest exits ANYWHERE YOU GO, and have an escape path in mind & identify places you could hide. PI’s, ensure everyone knows what they would do, if they find themselves in an active shooter situation. n n FSU offers the “Seminole-SAFE” mobile application Understand the plans for individuals with disabilities or other access and functional needs. Be aware of your environment and any possible dangers. If you see something, say something to an authority right away Sign up for an active shooter training. 69

Emergency Action Planning n Active Shooter Situations n During an incident n n n Understand that law enforcement’s first task is to end the incident, and they may have to pass injured along the way. Officers may be armed with rifles, shotguns, and/or handguns and may use pepper spray or tear gas to control the situation. Officers will shout commands and may push individuals to the ground for their safety. Follow law enforcement instructions and evacuate in the direction they come from, unless otherwise instructed. Keep hands visible and empty. 70

Emergency Action Planning n Active Shooter Situations n After an incident n n n Take care of yourself first, and then you may be able to help the wounded before first responders arrive. If the injured are in immediate danger, move them to a safer location. While you wait for first responder to arrive, provide first aid if you can. Turn unconscious people onto their sides and keep them warm. Consider seeking professional help for you and your family to cope with the long-term effects of the trauma. 71
