An intruder may pull an alarm to flush people out into the open.
If the fire alarm sounds, ignore it unless you can physically detect the signs of fire.Take adequate cover/protection behind objects that will stop a bullet: i.e., concrete walls, thick desks, filing cabinets. Switch cell phones to vibrate, turn off other devices that emit sound.If you heard any explosions, provide a description and location.If you have observed any suspicious devices (improvised explosive devices), provide the location device was seen and a description.If you were able to see the offender(s), give a description of the person’s(s) sex, race, clothing, type of weapon(s), location last seen direction of travel, and identity – if known.Have ONE person CALL 911 and provide known information.Lock and barricade doors or windows, turn off lights, close the blinds.Go to a room that can be locked or barricaded.Try to warn others to take immediate shelter.The object is to have the intruder think there is no one in your area and to make it as difficult as possible to gain access. This procedure is merely a framework you will need to adjust accordingly, depending on the exact circumstances you are facing.
No one can predict what actions are most appropriate for every situation that might occur. It is critical that people remain calm and think clearly. If you find yourself in this situation, remain calm and CALL 911 as soon as possible. In general, how you respond to these situations will be dictated by the specific circumstances of the encounter.
