Resilience, Be Ready

I was asked to prepare a presentation about situational awareness and how to be ready when violence happens. The result was a set of slides that I think captures the essence of the subject.

The BLUF (bottom line up front) is:

1. Pay attention: scan your environment from close to far.
2. Remain boring, and blend in.
3. If you detect something bad, go through your pregamed plan to get yourself out of that situation.
4. Always have an escape plan.

Here’s the deck (PDF): Resilience, Be Ready - An introduction to situational awareness and things going wrong.

EDITED to add

I created a small booklet with quick tips to remain safe while being out there. Here it is: A Practical Guide to Staying Safe While Traveling and Commuting
