Your first goal in a threatening situation should often be creating a safe way to leave.

Changing conditions or fatigue are good reasons to adjust plans and return safely.

Small habits you can maintain are more valuable than dramatic changes that quickly disappear.

Train your hands and forearms for carrying groceries, gear, and helping others.

Firearm laws can change, so verify requirements through current government sources and qualified professionals.

Accessible medication and allergy information can help during a medical emergency.

In a serious emergency, contact professional responders promptly and follow dispatcher instructions.
