Ten ways to survive a terrorist attack or an active shooter
We all believe we'll never get into big trouble however trouble doesn't ask us whether we believe in it or not
It just hails all of a sudden like thunder
You can't know when or if you find yourself in a dangerous situation
But there are certain things that you should know just in case
Number 1 observe
Unfortunately shooters and terrorists often target public places especially at certain events
This brings us to the first step when you go to any event take a few minutes to look around
And check where the exits are it?
May seem a bit over-the-top, but this is a good habit to have because it may help you to escape not only the attack
But a fire earthquake or any other situation where you just want to get out
If something is going to happen you wouldn't want to be running around without knowing what to do
You'd know exactly which way to go which is a priceless knowledge in an emergency situation
Number two realize that it's real
In this type of situation
Everything happens very quickly one moment you were fine the next moment you have to run and escape to survive
That's why it can be hard to realize that this happens to you, and it's not a joke or a nightmare
Remember one simple thing if it sounds like a gunshot or an attack it might be a gunshot or an attack
It's always better to be safe than sorry
Hopefully you'll find out later
It was just a stupid hoax, but it's better to laugh afterward then suffer from being too relaxed, right
Just try to prepare yourself mentally and keep a cool head. You'll need it if the situation is in fact dangerous
Number three run
If you're lucky enough to get the opportunity to escape from the attack don't even think about it run
There was certainly no shame in running and don't worry about your stuff. Everything is replaceable except for your life
Get as far away from the danger as possible. Don't forget that windows are a good option for escaping -
Glass cuts or even a broken leg can be healed much more easily than the damage from a bullet
Forget about the popular misconceptions such as zigzag or banding techniques
Just run as fast as possible the only exception might be if the shooter can see you
Once you're in a safe place get help call 911 and an ambulance
Number four hide
If You cannot escape or run away try to find some shelter
hide and start barricading using any heavy objects nearby
The further you are from the shooter the better
calm yourself down and try not to panic any loud sobbing or crying will bring the unwanted attention if
It's possible
silence your phone any
vibration or incoming calls will give you away instantly
Don't forget that the harder it is for the attacker to enter the place where you are the better it is for you
most of the time the attacker has only a few minutes before the police show up you just have to make it until then
Don't come out until the police come only then it will be completely safe
Number 5 find cover
Forget all the movies you've seen with super agents in
Real life things like a chair a door or a car will not stop a bullet
Concrete or brick walls are always better options when they are available of course
so if you're in an open area
Try to keep close to anything that can provide ballistic protection and be a serious barrier for the shooter to get you for example
cement pillars then machines and anything else of that sort
Again, don't forget to turn off your gadgets that can make any sudden and unnecessary noise if it's possible try to find
Something that can help you in case of the fight

It's just as important as our topic and may come in handy
Number 6 call the emergency services
It may sound surprising but statistics say that it often takes about 10 minutes for somebody to dial the emergency services of
of course it's not easy to do this when you're in an open area and just
hope that the shooter won't see you
But If you were able to lock yourself in a room and barricade or if you're in any other safe space far away from the attacker
Call the police immediately
Use a landline if possible as it can be traced more quickly
Stay calm and give clear details on the incident and your whereabouts
Follow the police instructions to the letter stay quiet and wait usually it takes about 10 minutes for police to arrive
Number 7 find a weapon
Finding a good possible weapon is one of the key things in any survival plan you never know when everything can go wrong
So you should always be prepared to fight for yourself
You can use
Absolutely anything as a weapon for instance scissors an umbrella an old broom or even a cup of hot coffee
If there are other people around you try to work as a team
Assign all the responsibilities right away one person should call the emergency services a few other people should barricade the entry
somebody else should start looking for a potential weapon and so on
Try to create a plan if something goes wrong and have each other's back after all you're all in this together, right?
Number eight fight
Fighting is the last option when you have nowhere to go and nothing to lose
aim for the face in the eyes and gouge them if
You're in a group try to ambush the shooter with some weapon just like we said previously it can be almost anything
Don't worry about winning the fight you just need to get time to escape try to distract the attacker and run
Another good option is to disarm the shooter in any case remember that this is not a boxing match or an action
Movie you don't have to win and prove that you're tough and cool. You just need to stay alive
It's your life. That's on the line so try to do everything to save it
Number 9 stay human
It's very hard to keep a cool head in such situations and not to let fear take over and it's understandable
It's our instinct speaking
The only thing you can think of at that moment is to run as far as you can and don't look back
However, it is one of those situations that reveals your true character
so if you see somebody who looks
Disoriented and too scared to act try to help if you can
Grab that person when they start running calm them down and encourage them to be more cooperative
But don't sacrifice your life
Unfortunately as much as you want it. You can't save everybody
Don't put yourself in a situation where instead of one person in trouble the police get two people in trouble
Number 10 learn new skills
It might be a good idea to prepare yourself for any danger beforehand and attend some defense courses
You will learn how to defend yourself how to escape from danger, and how to use ordinary objects for protection?
These lessons will overall broaden your horizons plus
This knowledge is without a doubt necessary and useful if you have never done anything like that. Don't worry
You'd be surprised at what you're capable of
