The actions you take in the first three minutes of a crisis can help you to stay safe.

Being aware of your surroundings can help you stay safe.
The best way to protect yourself while in the workplace or outside of it is to build situational awareness. By definition, situational awareness is the “ability to directly know and perceive, to feel, or to be cognizant of events around you.” Simply put, know your surroundings and who is around you to protect yourself from unwarranted attacks.
Self-care is important when managing crisis situations.
When working in a high stress environment, it can be easy to lose yourself and get burnt out over time. It is important to prioritize self-care so that you can show up as your best self at work.
Self-care activities help with your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Taking care of yourself helps build resilience and equips you to handle challenges more effectively.
