Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary recommendation for surviving an active killer event?

The primary recommendation is to 'Run, Hide, Fight.' The best initial solution is to run out of range of the threat. If running isn't possible, hide effectively, and as a last resort, fight.

What is the difference between cover and concealment in an active shooter situation?

Cover provides ballistic protection (e.g., thick walls), stopping bullets. Concealment merely hides you from view (e.g., behind a curtain), offering no protection from gunfire. Prioritize cover, but use concealment if cover is unavailable.

What medical supplies are recommended for active killer preparedness?

It's recommended to carry a trauma-ready first aid kit. This should include items for stopping severe bleeding. TSA allows trauma shears under 4 inches, useful for accessing wounds quickly.

How important is situational awareness during and after an active killer attack?

Situational awareness is crucial. During the event, it helps identify threats and escape routes. Afterward, maintaining awareness helps manage shock, assist others, and provide vital information to first responders.
