Active Shooter Incident
The following guidelines are intended to reduce your personal risk in the unlikely event that an Active Shooter Incident should occur on campus.
If you are outside a building when an event occurs, you should take immediate cover, preferably inside a building, circumstances permitting.
If you are in a building when an event occurs, you should secure immediate area:
- Lock and barricade doors
- Do not stand by doors or windows
- Turn off lights
- Block windows
- Turn off radios and computer monitors
- Keep yourself out of sight and take adequate cover/protection (i.e. concrete walls, filing cabinets - cover may protect you from bullets)
- Silence cell phones
Un-Securing an area:
- Consider risks before un-securing rooms
- Remember, the shooter will not stop until they are engaged by an outside force
- Attempts to rescue people should only be attempted if it can be accomplished without further endangering the persons inside a secured area.
