If there is a report of a shooting in the building you have three options:
- If communication is available, always dial 911. It is also crucial to notify
Public Safety at x8888 if using a college phone, or call (212) 237-8888
from an outside phone. - Run to a safe location if it is advisable to do so.
- Hide in a room and lock the door. Shut off the interior lights and silence your cell phones. Only exit when the police advise you to do so.
- Fight the active shooter as a last resort. Use anything available to fight the shooter from fire
extinguishers to chairs. - Once you evacuate from the building follow the instructions of the police or first responders.
- Exit the building with your hands up in the air and your fingers spread.
- If you are injured notify the first responders immediately.
