General Safety Guidelines

• Be aware of your surroundings.
   

• Move or leave if you feel uncomfortable or if something does not seem right.
   

• Take precautions when traveling. Be aware of conspicuous or unusual behavior. Do not accept packages from strangers. Do not leave luggage unattended. You should promptly report unusual behavior, suspicious or unattended packages, and strange devices to the police or security personnel.
  Learn where emergency exits are located in buildings you frequent. Plan how to get out in the event of an emergency.
   

• Be prepared to do without services you normally depend on—electricity, telephone, natural gas, gasoline pumps, cash registers, ATMs, and Internet transactions.
   

• Work with building owners to ensure the following items are located on each floor of the building:
  - Portable, battery-operated radio and extra batteries.
  - Several flashlights and extra batteries.
  - First aid kit and manual.
  - Hard hats and dust masks.
  - Fluorescent tape to rope off dangerous areas.
