Active shooter, fire, riot — what to do when the gates roll down.
Active shooter, fire, riot — what to do when the gates roll down.
FBI guidance for active-shooter situations is 'Run, Hide, Fight' — and the only correct order: escape if possible, hide if not, fight only as a last resort. This quiz covers public-space emergency response, hands-on first aid for traumatic injuries, and the difference between a lockdown and a lockout.
Each round presents 10 randomized questions from a pool of 50, with four multiple-choice options and instant feedback after every answer. Your final score comes with a performance tier and shareable results.
You'll work through Run-Hide-Fight protocols, Stop the Bleed civilian first aid (tourniquets, wound packing, direct pressure), START triage colors, mall fire safety, the lockdown vs lockout distinction, and lessons from real public-space attacks like Westgate Mall Nairobi 2013, Munich OEZ 2016, and Allen Texas 2023.
An FBI/DHS protocol for active-shooter incidents. Run if you can escape safely; hide behind solid cover and barricade doors if you can't; fight as an absolute last resort with full commitment and improvised weapons.
A national civilian training program launched in 2013 after Sandy Hook. It teaches direct pressure, wound packing, and tourniquet application — the gap between injury and EMS arrival is when most preventable trauma deaths occur.
Lockdown means an active threat is inside the building — everyone shelters in place behind locked doors. Lockout means an external threat is nearby — the building seals its perimeter but normal activity continues inside.
