Emergency Readiness
What To Do
An active-shooter emergency can develop without warning. Focus first on creating distance from danger, finding effective cover, communicating only when it is safe, and following instructions from responding law-enforcement officers.
- Move to safety: Move away from the sound of gunfire and find solid cover.
- Secure your location: Hide out of sight, lock or block entry points, silence your phone, and call 911 when it is safe to speak.
- Run: Leave the danger area when a safe route is available. Do not stop to collect belongings.
- Hide: Lock or block entry points, move away from windows, silence devices, and remain quiet.
- Defend: As a last resort and only when your life is in immediate danger, act decisively to disrupt the attacker.
When Law Enforcement Arrives
Responding officers are focused first on stopping the threat. Make your actions easy to understand, follow every command immediately, and provide concise information only when asked.
- Remain calm and follow every instruction immediately.
- Keep your hands empty, raised, and clearly visible with fingers spread.
- Avoid sudden movements, pointing, shouting, or attempting to hold onto officers.
- Move in the direction officers indicate and do not stop them to ask questions while they respond to the threat.
- When asked, provide the attacker location, number of attackers, physical description, weapons, and potential victims.

Preparedness starts before an emergency. Review official guidance, discuss reunification and communication plans with household members, and know the emergency procedures used by workplaces, schools, and community organizations.
Recognize and report: Report credible threats, weapons concerns, or alarming behavior to the appropriate authority. Call 911 for an immediate threat.
Plan exits: Identify more than one exit in familiar buildings and choose an off-site meeting point.
Communicate: Establish a family contact outside the immediate area and use text messages when voice networks are congested.
Recover carefully: Follow official reunification instructions and use verified sources before sharing names, images, or claims.

Frequently Asked Questions
Active And Mass Shooter Alerts
What is an active-shooter alert?
It highlights credible reporting about a person actively attempting to harm others. Confirm changing details with law enforcement and the linked source.
How is a mass shooting different?
A mass shooting generally refers to an incident with multiple victims; active shooter describes an ongoing threat. Labels may change as facts develop.
How quickly are records updated?
The installed plugin checks its configured public sources on its approved schedule. Each record retains its source and publication context.
Why do some records use a placeholder image?
