#FollowUpFriday: Retail Safety Playbook 🚨

1️⃣ Pick an exterior meeting spot BEFORE entering.
2️⃣ Follow official orders—assess whether to stay or go.
3️⃣ If split up, DON'T double back into crowds. Evacuate first, then link up outside.

What’s your meeting spot? 👇

Shoppers at the Winchester Walmart on Pleasant Valley Rd were abruptly evacuated after a suspect made bomb & shooting threats inside.

#WhatIfWednesday: If you’re split from family in different aisles during a sudden mass evacuation, what's your instant move? 👇

FOLLOW-UP FRIDAY! Following up on Wednesday, here are 3 simple safety moves if a crowd turns chaotic:

🔹 Set 2 meeting spots outside the event.
🔹 Get low fast & find hard cover (brick > tents).
🔹 Hold kids tight—use chest carries or firm wrist grips.

Stay alert!

Fear isn’t readiness. A Winchester man opened fire on his neighbors, convinced they meant harm.

ATF alerts the public to a scam involving fraudulent phone calls from individuals claiming to be from ATF. Scammers, using Martinsburg, WV, phone numbers tell people they need to provide payment to “clear a red flag.” ATF is working w/ @FBI to investigate. https://t.co/51RjUBfJK7

You step out to the ATM…
A man approaches. He’s holding something.

This isn’t a video game.
It’s CHAOS.

Reality-based training where survival depends on what you do next.
