Emergency Response Recommendations
The Department of Homeland Security and the University of Illinois Emergency Management recommend the following three responses to any emergency on campus: Run > Hide > Fight
Only follow these actions if safe to do so. When in doubt, follow your instincts—you are your own best advocate.
Run
Leaving the area quickly is the best option, if safe to do so.
Actions
- Remain calm.
- Take best route away from active threat.
- Leave your personal belongings.
- Assist those who need help but understand whether that puts you at risk.
- Follow instructions from first responders once outside. If none have yet arrived do not remain in the vicinity.
Know
- Escape routes.
Hide
When you cannot or do not want to run, take immediate shelter.
Actions
- Remain calm.
- Get to best place where you cannot be seen.
- Lock or barricade your area.
- Turn off lights.
- Silence your phone.
- Do not open door until a known police officer advises you to. An actual police officer will have a business card to slide up the door. Confirm badge number with call 911 or text 911.
- Do not leave until directed by a known police officer or you receive an Illini-Alert that it is safe to do so.
Know
- Locations to hide.
Fight
As a last resort you may need to fight to increase your chances of survival.
Actions
- Be aggressive and commit to your actions.
- Use most effective available objects as weapons.
- Team up with others if possible.
- Do not pick up the attacker’s weapon as you will be seen as a threat to police.
Know
- You are in a fight for your life. Be prepared to cause severe or lethal injury to the attacker.
