ALWAYS BE AWARE...... The month of August has been designated Antiterrorism Awareness Month • What can you do to reduce your risk of becoming a victim of terrorism? Personal safety begins with a proactive mind-set about the security environment where you live, work, go to school, and travel. Personal security habits which will help prevent you from becoming a victim include understanding the risks and taking proactive measures to ensure your own safety. Fundamentals of self-protection include: • Never travel alone; always travel in groups of two or more. Think ahead and choose safe travel modes and routes. ... • When departing from home, advise your family members of your destination and anticipated arrival time. • Whenever possible carry a cellular phone and know the local emergency phone numbers (such as police and medical). • Maintain situational awareness of your surroundings at all times. This means to pay attention (see and listen) for things happening around you and to identify anything unusual. If necessary, leave the area and report the suspicious activity to local authorities. • Take precautions with social media networks (such as Facebook, Twitter, and blogs) and avoid posting or providing personal information. Criminals and terrorists are known to use these forums for recruitment. Everyone can make a difference by recognizing what to report and reporting it to security forces or law enforcement. If you see something, say something!!
