Run, Hide or Fight

Hide, Run or Fight
- C.

Correct Answer
A. Run, Hide or FightExplanation
In a lockdown, the ideal sequence of action to keep you safe is to first run if possible, to get away from the danger. If running is not an option, the next step is to hide and find a safe place to take cover. If hiding is not possible or the danger is imminent, the last resort is to fight back and defend yourself. This sequence prioritizes escaping from the danger first, then finding a safe place, and only resorting to fighting as a last option.Rate this question:
