ACTIVE SHOOTER / VIOLENT ATTACKER PREPAREDNESS

RUN

If you can safely evacuate yourself, do so quickly. Attempt to help others, but do not let them slow you down. Once you are in a safe location, call tupd (504-865-5911).

HIDE

If you are unable to evacuate, then lock doors, barricade entryways, and
Seek cover. Silence cell phones and turn off all lights.

FIGHT

As a last resort, if you are unable to run or hide, fight for your life. Use anything to distract and incapacitate the shooter/attacker.
