Be Secure

  • Lock doors and barricade with furniture
  • Turn off the lights
  • Close windows, shades, and blinds
  • If outside, enter the nearest possible building

Be Silent

  • Silence phones and turn off all other electronic devices
  • Minimize noise, including movement and conversation

Remain secure in place until you receive an all-clear notification from law enforcement personnel or the Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Alert system.
