August is Antiterrorism Awareness Month
As part of Antiterrorism Awareness Month, White Sands Missile Range is promoting awareness of the "Run. Hide. Fight." protocol-an essential personal safety strategy during active shooter or terrorism-related incidents. This campaign is designed to empower individuals with practical actions they can take in the event of an immediate threat.
Key Concepts:
Run - If there is a safe escape path, evacuate the area immediately. Leave belongings behind and help others if possible.
Hide - If escape isn't possible, find a secure location out of the attacker's view, lock or barricade doors, silence devices, and remain quiet.
Fight - As a last resort, and only if your life is in imminent danger, attempt to incapacitate the attacker using physical force or improvised weapons.
This awareness effort supports our broader commitment to safety, preparedness, and resilience in the face of potential threats.
