5. Actions  Immediately evaluate your situational awareness.  What is occurring on campus?  Am I in the threat area?  What actions should I take for my safety or those I’m responsible for?  Do I need to notify others of the incident?  Class, co-workers, others?

6. Actions (cont.)  Implement actions based on the incident.
