emergency. Going outside
poses a risk of injury or death.

Move to the lowest floor of the
building. Select an interior
room without windows and
avoid rooms with mechanical
equipment like fume hoods or
other ventilation equipment.

If possible, find a room with a
landline telephone as cell
phone networks may be
overwhelmed.

Listen to the radio or television
and monitor e-mail and the GT

If you are in an office or a classroom,
immediately close the door and lock
it if it has a lock. If it does not have a

the doorway.
Stay away from windows and out of
view. Take a position behind heavy
furniture, a counter or anything that
will hide your location and provide
some cover. Stay hidden, keep quiet
until the police arrive.
