Stay Alert

The following steps can prevent or reduce the impact of a violent act:

• Comply with the safety instructions in place
• Locate the emergence exits (not just the main entrance/exit)
• Trust your intuition and report to the authorities anything that is unusual that causes you to suspect that a malicious act is about to take place

Exercise Good Judgment

If you witness violence:

• Do not do anything that will put your life or that of others in danger
• Call 911 to alert the police of the situation. Describe the situation clearly
• Provide assistance to injured people and, when all danger is past, comfort witnesses who are in shock
• Make way for responding emergency services as soon as they arrive and be available to provide information about what you have seen
