to be aware of their surroundings and respond accordingly to an emergency if it arises.
Emergency Response Procedures

security/DeKalb County Sheriff鈥檚 Office by dialing 9-5-2-9.
Give as much detail about what you saw/heard as possible and give the location of
the nearest room/room number.
Unfortunately, there is not a single response that fits all situations of an armed
intruder situation. However, by maintaining a Run, Hide, Fight mindset one can increase
the odds of surviving.
Always be aware of your surroundings.
Become familiar with two different exit routes from your current locations.
Be familiar with areas you could hide if you are unable to exit your current location.
If the room is safe to hide, turn off the lights. If possible, lock the door, and
barricade the door using whatever is available (chairs, desks, etc.).
When evacuating and hiding are not options, as a last resort option, become familiar
with items that could possibly help you fight back to survive.
During an incident, assess the information to determine the best course of action.
