Internal or External Threat

External threat

If possible, stay inside the building. Raise awareness of the situation and advise people not to go outside. Business and classes will continue to the extent possible.

Internal threat causing or threatening harm

Notify 911 and building security as soon as possible and advise them of any injured persons.

1. Run: Exit the building if safe to do so.
2. Hide: Be invisible, lock yourself in a room, barricade the door, turn off lights, silence phones.
3. Fight: Make a plan with others to overpower, overthrow or hit the person with objects to stop the threat.

Follow directions of responding police officers. Have your hands in the air and move to a safe area as directed.

Disruptive Persons or Suspicious Activity

If you feel threatened by a disturbance, immediately call building security. If you see someone or something that seems suspicious, report it! Trust your instincts. If possible, tell security:

1. What is happening?
2. Where is it occurring?
3. Who is involved? How many people?
4. What is the description?
5. Are vehicles involved? What is their description (make, model, color, plate number)?
6. What direction are they headed?
7. Are there weapons involved?
8. Has anyone been injured?

If you observe criminal activity, do not attempt to apprehend the person(s) involved. Call 911 and notify building security. Stay on the phone if possible.
