Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ

Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the Run Hide Fight model.

No one expects to find themselves in an active shooter situation, but in the event that there is on, the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵcommunity should be prepared to RUN – HIDE – FIGHT.

Run

• Have an escape route and plan in mind.
• Leave your belongings behind.
• Keep your hands visible.
• Call WCUPD or 911 or use the LiveSafe App when you are in a safe place.

Hide

• Take time now to learn the different ways to seek shelter in your building.
• If you can’t escape, hide in an area out of the shooter’s view, and behind something solid if possible.
• Block entry to your hiding place and lock the doors.
• Silence your cell phone and other devices.
• Keep it simple. Hiding could be as simple as locking a door.

Fight

• Fighting is a last resort to be used only when your life is in imminent danger.
• Attempt to incapacitate the active shooter.
• Find an object to use as a weapon, such as a fire extinguisher or chair. Be creative.
• Work as a team with someone else if possible.

Report it before it happens!

If someone is demonstrating concerning behavior or making comments of committing violence, contact Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵPD immediately. If you are concerned about behavior, but there is no immediate threat to the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵcommunity, you may to Student Affairs.
