As a result of increased public awareness, many citizens have asked what individuals can do protect themselves and reduce the dangers faced during one of these events. Avoid | Deny | Defend\u2122 has been developed as an easy to remember method for individuals to follow. As we\u2019ve seen that hiding and hoping isn\u2019t a very effective strategy.<\/p>\n<p>For more information visit:<\/p>\n<p>Avoid Deny Defend Website: <a href=\"http:\/\/avoiddenydefend.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-servicelink=\"CDIQ6TgiEwij_4OBsYzPAhXBdaoKHe3SA-0o-B0\" data-url=\"http:\/\/AvoidDenyDefend.org\">http:\/\/AvoidDenyDefend.org<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Pioneer Alert Indicating an Active Shooter<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>When you receive a Pioneer Alert notifying you that an active shooter has been reported, try to stay calm and follow the instructions given.<\/li>\n<li>If you are not on campus, stay away until an official notice is sent telling you it is safe to return.<\/li>\n<li>Sign up for <a href=\"https:\/\/tusculum.regroup.com\/signup\">Pioneer Alert<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What To Do On Campus (if you receive a Pioneer Alert or if you hear gunfire)<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/web.tusculum.edu\/safety\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Run-Hide-Fight-Graphic.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-534\" alt=\"Run Hide Fight Graphic\" src=\"https:\/\/web.tusculum.edu\/safety\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Run-Hide-Fight-Graphic.png\" width=\"250\" height=\"125\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>RUN<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Shooter Outside \u2013 RUN<\/li>\n<li>If you are outside and if you are able to do so safely, leave the area.<\/li>\n<li>Warn others that appear to be unaware of the situation, to stay away from the area as well.<\/li>\n<li>From a safe location, contact police and report the incident.<\/li>\n<li>Shooter Inside \u2013 RUN<\/li>\n<li>If you can escape without harm, evacuate the building.<\/li>\n<li>At a safe distance call 9-1-1 and provide as much information as possible.<\/li>\n<li>Warn others that appear to be unaware of the situation, to stay away from the building.<\/li>\n<li>If law enforcement approaches, put any items you have in your hands down, raise your hands over your head with your fingers spread.
