Get Out. Hide. Fight.

These sessions are aimed at teaching what to do in case they face an active attacker on the TMU campus. While the chances of an active threat situation occurring on the campus are extremely low, it’s important for TMU community members to have this knowledge in case it happens.

Visit the Active Attacker page to learn the key message of get out, hide, fight.

This 2-hour session will provide participants with information, knowledge and tools to respond in the case of an active threat situation on campus. This will be followed by a discussion period.
