If you receive a notification to "lockdown" do the following:

Keep everyone in the classroom for their safety until more information is provided.

Lock and/or barricade building and/or classroom doors if possible.

Lights off! ACT AS IF NO ONE IS IN THE ROOM.

Move everyone away from doors and windows.

For situations involving the potential discharge of firearms, stay low to the ground and away from view.

Instruct everyone to stay down until subsequent instructions are given.

DO NOT ANSWER OR UNLOCK THE DOOR. Safety responders will have the necessary access keys.

In the event you are outside when a lockdown directive is given, take the following actions:

Move away from the danger area and get to a safe location.

Proceed to a classroom or an indoor secure area unless otherwise instructed by the building emergency information officer (EIO) or campus safety.

If the classroom is not accessible or is unsafe, proceed to the nearest safe classroom or building.

If no classroom or building is available, seek shelter in the safest place available that will offer concealment (hide you) or provide cover (protect you from gunfire).
