- Consulate General’s Recommendations:
(1) If you hear gunshots nearby: Immediately “drop to the ground” (standing increases the risk of being hit). Look for an opportunity to safely move away.
(2) If you hear gunshots at a distance or if you can move: “Flee” the area. Stay calm and move to a safe location.
(3) If you cannot flee: “Hide.” Take cover and protect yourself by staying low and using obstacles.
(4) If you encounter a robbery or similar situation: “Do not resist,” “do not look at the perpetrators,” and “comply with their demands” (make slow movements to avoid provoking them).
(5) During nighttime and early morning hours, which have a higher risk of various crimes, please avoid walking outside as much as possible.
