Civil Unrest

Do this first

1. 1Stay away from the area. Avoid crowds and protests.
2. 2At home: lock doors, stay away from ground-floor windows, and follow local news and alerts.
3. 3Leave early if you must go, before roads close — and avoid the affected area.
4. 4Caught in a crowd: move calmly toward the edge and side streets. Keep moving with the flow and stay away from police lines.
5. 5Text family to let them know you are safe. Keep your phone charged and your gas tank full.

What to grab

• Phone, charger, and power bank.
• ID, cash, and medications.
• Water, food, and your go-bag.
• Car keys.

Where to go

• Home or another indoor place away from the unrest.
• An interior room away from windows if it is close by.
• If leaving: your family's meeting spot or relatives outside the area, on routes that avoid the unrest.
