How to Survive an Active Shooter

In 2011, the State Office of Risk Management produced an Active Shooter Emergency Preparedness video advising office employees on addressing an active shooter event in the workplace. In light of recent events, the Office has released a new video to stress the importance of developing a procedure should an armed intruder enter your workplace.
The updated video includes footage from a recent active shooter drill conducted at the Office, with the assistance from the security team from the Texas Attorney General’s Office, and support from the Texas Department of Public Safety.
The current national protocol for employees in an active shooter situation in the workplace is Run, Hide, Fight, which is highlighted in this video. Additional protocols do exist, and whether your entity chooses to adopt Run, Hide, Fight or another alternative, the importance is to assign a procedure and practice through drills and exercises.
Run Hide Fight® is a registered mark of City of Houston's Mayor's Office of Public Safety and Homeland Security, a Department of Homeland Security Grant Funded Project.
