Ask yourself, how many exits are here? Where are those exits? How easily can I access them? What obstacles are in the way? Once I get to the exit, will it be locked? What is on the other side of the door? These are all questions you should be asking yourself when you enter a building or room. It doesn’t take 5 minutes to think about it. These are millisecond questions that all happen within the blink of an eye. Start practicing asking yourself these questions the next time you leave your house. Whenever you enter a new environment, take that millisecond moment to mentally map out the available exit routes. Be aware of emergency exits, stairwells, or alternative exits that you can utilize if needed. Knowing your escape options can provide a sense of security and enable you to react quickly in case of an emergency. This can make the difference between you making it out of a casualty alive vs as a victim. -Defensive Strategies
