Active Shooter Preparedness

• RUN: If it is safe to do so, evacuate the area immediately. Leave belongings behind and encourage others to go with you.
• HIDE: If evacuation is not possible, find a secure location. Lock and barricade doors, silence your phone, and stay quiet.
• FIGHT: As a last resort, if your life is in immediate danger, use any means available to defend yourself.

RCC will send an emergency alert through RCC Alert (text, email, or phone). You may also hear announcements from faculty or staff or receive instructions from campus police or faculty.

• Move away from the source of danger as quickly as possible.
• Take cover behind solid objects like walls, vehicles, or large trees.
• Call 911 when you are safe, providing them with as much information as possible (e.g., location of the shooter, description, weapons, etc.).

•  Remain where you are until law enforcement has given the all-clear or received an all clear from the RAVE alert.
• Follow instructions from RCC emergency personnel or campus police.
• Seek medical attention if needed, and report any injuries or missing persons to RCC staff.

• Familiarize yourself with your surroundings, including exits and potential hiding spots.
• Sign up for RCC Alert to receive emergency notifications.
• Participate in campus safety trainings and drills when offered.
