🚨 Emergency Actions Module
When danger escalates, seconds matter. This module teaches you the most effective actions to take when a situation becomes unsafe and you must act immediately. Good emergency decisions save lives — including your own.
1️⃣ What Are Emergency Actions?
Emergency actions are immediate responses that prioritise survival. They are fast, simple, and proven to break contact with danger.
You are not trying to win.
You are trying to escape.
2️⃣ When Do Emergency Actions Begin?
Emergency actions begin the moment:
- distance is closing too fast
- you’re blocked or cut off
- aggression escalates suddenly
- pre-contact cues appear
- a weapon is seen or implied
- a child is at risk or separated
3️⃣ The Emergency Action Framework
✔ Create distance
✔ Move away from people
✔ Break line of approach
✔ Use barriers
✔ Use your voice
✔ Escape + call for help
4️⃣ Examples of Emergency Actions
- Someone rushes you: Step off-line, angle away.
- A weapon appears: Move instantly, create space.
- Your instinct fires: That IS your early warning system.
- Child separated: Retrieve first, question later.
