9 We must plan and practice simple strategies that facilitate: 1. Intelligent Escape 2. When necessary barricade and hide 3. When no other options exist FIGHT BACK!!! 9

10 RUN: Building occupants should evacuate their surroundings if safe to do so; evacuees should leave behind their belongings, visualize their entire escape route before beginning to move, and avoid using elevators or escalators. With a shooter in one part of this large building, what could large numbers of those not in the immediate vicinity do, if they had good information? 10

11 HIDE: If evacuating the facility is not possible, building occupants should hide in a secure area {preferably a designated shelter location}, lock the door, block the door with heavy furniture, cover all windows, turn off all lights, silence any electronic devices, lie on the floor, and remain silent. 11
