In an emergency, ensuring your own safety is the top priority. Here are some tips and suggestions for quickly assessing potential defensive tools in your environment: 1. **Stay calm and alert**: - Quickly assess your surroundings to identify potential threats and available defensive tools. - Staying calm helps you think and make decisions more clearly. 2. **Identify available items**: - **Personal items**: keys, watches, mobile phones, notebooks, pens, etc. These small items can be used to block attackers or make noise to attract attention. - **Furniture and fixed objects**: chairs, tables, lamps, etc. can be used as temporary barriers or to increase the difficulty for attackers. - **Tools**: If you are in a workplace, there may be tools such as wrenches, screwdrivers, etc. that can be temporarily used as defensive tools. 3. **Take advantage of the environment**: - Find high places or advantageous positions to avoid being surrounded or trapped. - Use light or noise to distract attackers, such as shining a flashlight in the other person's eyes. 4. **Simple defense techniques**: - **Sound deterrence**: Scream for help or use an alarm to attract the attention of people around you. - **Physical self-defense**: Learn basic self-defense moves, such as breaking the attacker's hands and kicking the legs, to buy time to escape. 5. **Prioritize escape**: - If there is a clear escape route, give priority to evacuating the scene and avoid direct confrontation with the attacker. - Familiarity with the surrounding entrances and exits and safe passages will help you evacuate quickly in an emergency. 6. **Post-incident report**: - Contact the police or relevant security department as soon as possible to report the incident and the situation on the scene, and assist law enforcement agencies in handling it. 7. **Training and preparation**: - Regularly participate in self-defense training to improve your emergency response ability. - Familiarize yourself with common defense tools and their correct use in case of emergency. **Precautions**: - Try to avoid using lethal weapons and give priority to non-lethal defense methods to reduce harm to others. - Act within the legal scope and ensure that the defense measures taken comply with local laws and regulations. In an emergency, it is crucial to make smart decisions quickly. More practice and preparation in normal times can effectively protect yourself and others at critical moments.
