Some behaviors can save you said a security specialist.
While the level is kept high alert in Brussels and that the authorities speak of terrorist threat "imminent", the population lives in uncertainty and fear. "If terrorists want to maintain this climate of terror, they will repeat the less an attack ", Stany Ledieu analysis, manager of the company specialized in Consultancy SL security.
Faced with such a risk, it is better to be prepared, the expert continues. "During the attack at the Bataclan, uncontrolled reactions from some spectators were their fatal. Even in an emergency, keep a little self-control. "Here are some tips on what to do in different situations.
1 - A shooter shoots blindly into the crowd. The most effective technique is to lie down and play dead. "Few perpetrators of attack on the ground that verify whether people are dead", says specialist . The leak can then be considered, but not anyhow. "Not until the right time. If the terrorist is being loaded his gun, it leaves you a few seconds to flee", said Stany Ledieu. Wait until you are in a safe place to call for help.
2 - You hear gunshots. The leak is a good option. If you are in a building with no exits nearby, you hiding. Stay quiet and calm. Do not forget to direct your mobile in silent mode.
3 - A man points a gun at you. "You do not take a chance to say" Allahu Akbar "[" God is [the] greatest "in Arabic.] This is the option of last resort Au. Bataclan, the jihadists have saved some people ", said Stany Ledieu.
The fight may also be considered. The goal: to disarm and detain the shooter. This is actually the American and British passengers Thalys face the man who was going to commit a massacre in August.

"Always be vigilant"
"Given the current terrorist threat, it is not about to stop living but to adapt their behavior and to be ever vigilant" says Stany Ledieu, manager of SL Consultancy. "For example, some people who smoke in front the door of their business jeopardize the safety of their colleagues by opening the door to strangers. They should instead go smoke in a space reserved for it in the company's pregnant. I also believe that entries Schools should be more secure. One can go at any time of the day. Apart from the time the students go, the doors should be closed. With small simple actions can reduce risk significantly. "
In terms of everyday life, man recommends avoiding places of overcrowding. "For example, for shopping, it is best to focus on small supermarkets or neighborhood grocers. The risks are less important than in large shopping centers. For the Christmas markets, go rather in small towns than in big cities, "says Stany Ledieu.
If you have decided to defy the widespread fear to go to the terrace, to the cinema or concert, choose the best place. "For example, the attack at the Bataclan showed that it was better not to be too close to the entrance . In these places, focus on nearby places to emergency exits and those where there are few people nearby. "
