Campus Response Procedure: Run, Hide, Fight
When a major safety threat occurs on school grounds, the campus response procedure is: Run, Hide, Fight. If an active assailant is threatening your life and safety, follow this procedure:
RUN
HIDE
- Hide Silently in the Safest Location Possible
- Hide in an area outside of the shooter’s view.
- Block any points of entry and lock the doors, if possible.
- Turn off lights.
- Silence phones and turn off electronics.
- If you are outdoors and cannot RUN safely, find a safe place to hide that will provide protection from gunfire.
- Remain in place until you receive an “all clear” signal from IDentifyED.
FIGHT
- Last resort. Attack with aggression.
- If you cannot RUN or HIDE, FIGHT the perpetrator.
- Attempt to incapacitate the shooter.
- Act with physical aggression toward the shooter.
- Throw items at the shooter and take him or her by surprise if possible.
