Here is what our county HR manager sent to us about what to do if there is an active shooter.


 



Here’s a primer on what you should do during an active shooting event. Our advice: Practice. Practice. Practice.
Run
Always know the exit or stairwell nearest to your office or desk. Pay extra attention to how to get out of the building during any office fire drills. The second you hear the first pop-pop-pop of gunfire, leave the building. Fast.
Take nothing — you’ll retrieve your purse or laptop later — and wait for no one, experts say.
“Run as fast as you can, warning people on your way out the door,” Jason Porter, a regional managing director for the Pinkerton risk and security company. “Don’t let other people slow you down.”
Hide
If you can’t get out of the building:
•   Hide in a room with, preferably, a door that locks.
•   Turn off lights.
•   Push heavy objects against the door.
•   Silence cellphones.
•   Keep quiet.
If you can’t find a place to duck into or under, and you can hear gunshots, curl up into the “smallest possible target,” Frank Scafidi, an FBI agent for 20 years. “Firing is generally done from the hip. If someone has an automatic weapon and is sweeping back and forth, it’s better to be as low to the ground as you can be.”
Fight
If all else fails, fight for your life. Grab anything you can hurl at the attacker — a chair, fire extinguisher, stapler, even a cellphone — and wait for the moment he or she hesitates to, say, reload. The moment the attacker pauses, you attack.
“This isn’t a schoolyard fight; it’s someone coming to kill you,” says Porter. “You need to commit to fighting to the finish.” The Paris train attack heroes rushed the gunman in a group and didn’t stop until they had subdued him. One of them, Anthony Sadler, who is a college student from California, told NBC that “we just did whatever we could to disarm him.”

No HR would write this. Cool bouncy DUmmie.

Fat ass county worker slowing you down on the stairway? HR's answer is to push him/her out of the way and preferably down.

Unable to defend yourself properly then urinate or defecate on yourself is the answer liberals give to potential rape victims, right? Why run away like a little girl?

I never understood the whole pissing yourself thing to foil a rape attempt. If someone is willing to push the boundary to commit rape, what is to stop them for killing the victim for pissing all over them in the process?

HR might not write it, but the Department of Homeland Security would. http://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/publications/active_shooter_pocket_card_508.pdf

So long as the employees are not the ground, a tire or the front grill of a vehicle they should be safe.
