Assessing your safety options

In the event of an emergency, remember these three steps:​

​

  • RUN: Run away from danger. Do not surrender or attempt to negotiate.

  • HIDE: Find cover and stay out of sight. Be very quiet and switch your phone to silent mode.

  • TELL: Tell the police. Call 999 or SMS 71999 if it is not safe to talk. Provide details on your location and the threat or attackers.

​

Run Hide Tell is meant to advise you on the top three actions you should consider taking in the event of an emergency.

​

Applying Run Hide Tell does not mean that you have to stick to only one of these actions or do it in that sequence. Consider your environmental surroundings and factors, such as the number of people around you, the type of threat or the immediacy of the threat, when assessing which mix and sequence of actions to take.
