A terrorist’s primary objective is to create fear. You can keep yourself and your family safe with accurate information and basic emergency preparedness. Depending on the nature of the threat you may be asked to shelter in place or evacuate. Be prepared to do either.

Be Responsible:

• Be aware of your surroundings. Note the location of emergency exits, pay phones, fire alarms and fire extinguishers. Whatever your location, consider the best means of evacuation.
• Report suspicious objects, vehicles or persons to public safety authorities. If There Is a Terrorist Attack or Threat:
• Stay calm.
• Be vigilant. Look out for secondary hazards such as falling debris, suspicious packages or persons. Report any concerns to public safety authorities.
• For your own protection, cooperate fully with public safety officials and keep the streets clear for emergency vehicles.
• Follow the instructions of emergency service personnel.
• Avoid spreading rumors – confirm information with a credible source.
