Policy: AUS Policy Title: Revision Date:7/28/17 Page 20 of 22 <br /> AUS - 006 Emergency Response Policy <br /> but deciding today with your employees what the best plan is in case of an active shooter could save lives. <br /> Good preparation will help increase your chances of survival. Write the plan down and share it with <br /> employees. Have employees draw maps and be part of the preparation. <br /> Refer to the Department of Homeland Security's "Active Shooter-How to Respond"guidance document. <br /> 1. Run. Run if you can. Do everything in your power to get away from the shooter. Running away will <br /> give you the best chance of survival. Encourage other people around you to run as well. Leave your <br /> stuff behind. Once outside, keep running. Warn others while running and call 911 once you are <br /> safely way from the area. <br /> 2. Hide. If you absolutely cannot run, then hide. Be quiet and lock the doors. Turn off the lights, block <br /> the door, and turn off your cell phones. Remain calm. <br /> 1 Take Action. This should be your last resort. If you can't run or hide, then fight. Attempt to disrupt <br /> and/or incapacitate the active shooter by acting aggressively as possible against the person. Throw <br /> items and use improvised weapons against him/her. <br /> Practice the plan. Practice what to do if there is an active shooter. Identify weaknesses in your plan and <br /> correct them. Make sure everyone takes part in practicing the plan. It might seem odd practicing for an <br /> active shooter scenario, but it is well worth the time. <br />
