Safety is everyone’s responsibility.

The key is prevention and preparedness:

• Know your surroundings
• Stay aware
• Be ready to act

In Case of an Active Attacker: Follow the Basic Rules

Run – Hide – Fight

Watch the instructional video: Run, Hide, Fight!

Run:

• Avoid running in panic if you don’t know where the attacker is
• Leave your personal belongings behind – they’re not important
• Use the nearest safe exit
• Do not use elevators
• Warn others if possible
• Once you're in a safe place, call 158 (Czech Police)
• Do not go back

Hide:

If running is not possible:

• Find a place to hide
• Lock or barricade the door
• Silence your phone, turn off computers and printers
• Stay quiet and don’t draw attention to yourself
• Do not leave your hiding place

Fight:

• Physical defense is the last resort
• If it comes to that, prepare improvised weapons
• Defend yourself with surprise, intensity, and from close range
