What to do during an Active Shooter Incident:
- If you see or hear gunfire, call 9-1-1 immediately. Provide the dispatcher with all available information regarding the threat.

Do not open doors unless instructed to do so by staff or authorized personnel. Emergency responders may enter the room using a master key or by providing official identification.
