If gunshot or explosion is heard, drop to the floor and seek cover.
Move a telephone into the secure area and call 911 as soon as possible.
Account for all students and staff. Notify police to cover or contain students and staff who may be outside the building.
If a medical emergency arises, render first aid and report to command or emergency personnel.
Maintain a calm environment.
Stay where you are until instructed otherwise by command or emergency personnel, even if the school/work day is over.
Guard outside exits to prevent anyone from leaving the building.
Update locked down personnel at 5-10 minute intervals, as information is received from command or emergency personnel.
