Run Hide Fight 1

Penn State’s Active Attacker Response Program offers three action steps if confronted with an active assailant, making it easy to remember and act upon in an emergency: run if you can, hide if you can’t, and fight as a last resort. Once in a safe place, call 911 and give detailed information about what is happening.

Run: Have an escape route in mind. Hide: If unable to run from the danger, you should hide. Fight: Fighting is a last resort to be used only when your life is in imminent danger. (However, sometimes fighting may be the first and only option.)
