Active Shooter app for iPhone and iPad

The Active Shooter App brings together tools created by government and the private sector to increase a viewers awareness of steps they can take to survive an Active Shooter Event.

The App was inspired by The City of Houston Mayors Office of Public Safety and Homeland Security produced the informational video Run. Hide. Fight. Surviving an Active Shooter Event for citizens in the Houston Region, funded with Homeland Security Grant funds, which reenacts various Run. Hide. Fight. scenarios. The video encourages citizens to evaluate the situation and:

Run if a safe path is available. Always try and escape or evacuate even if others insist on staying.

•Encourage others to leave with you but dont let the indecision of others slow down your own effort to escape.

•Once you are out of the line of fire, try to prevent others from walking into the danger zone and call 9-1-1.

If you cant get out safely, find a place to hide.

•When hiding, turn out lights, remember to lock doors and silence your ringer and vibration mode on your cell phone

As a last resort Fight
• together or alone, act with aggression, use improvised weapons and fight for your life.

The app explores each of these options and provides tools to develop a plan to survive.
