Despite all of your efforts to reduce exposure to risks and to avoid threats, you may still become the victim of a crime or critical event. Following are some general response strategies:

• Remain calm and alert.

• If an assailant demands property, give it up.

• You can create a timely diversion by tossing your wallet, watch, etc. to the ground in the opposite direction you choose to flee.

• Carefully note details of the environment around you (license plate #, distinguishing features, accents, clothing, etc.).

• Report any incident to the sponsoring organization.

• Seek support for post-traumatic stress (even if you exhibit no symptoms).
