What would it be?
When you are walking to your car, what gives you peace of mind and reassurance?
Dialing 911?
Talking to a friend while walking?
You have seconds to respond to an imminent danger. A 911 or friends response will take minutes, at best. In a violent attack or home invasion for that matter, it is unlikely an attacker is going to give you minutes. So again, what is your first line of defense?
While calling 911 is important, it should't be your primary line of defense. It’s too unreliable – you have seconds and it will take them minutes to arrive. If your home is burning, are you going to sit inside, call 911, and then wait, inside, for the fire department? I don't think so!
You are the first line of defense for you and your loved ones. Be aware. Be prepared! Know how to protect yourself!
And remember, when dialing 911 from a cell phone, they don't know your immediate location. You have to give them that.

Random Attack?
Very few attacks are actually random.
Attackers do some degree of planning, including surveillance. They will either put a specific woman under surveillance or a certain location for a target of opportunity.
Kelsey Smith from Kansas became a target of opportunity. Erwin Hall followed her in and out of a local discount store. Basic awareness training could have prepared Kelsey to recognize the signs of surveillance. Simple techniques training could have helped her prevent abduction and strangulation. Smartsafe is dedicated to providing awareness, prevention and self-protection training so attacks and tragedies like this can be avoided.
Keep Up The Awareness!

Be Resourceful
Being resourceful is easy. Think about what you have on and with you. Your belt, scarf, or jacket can be used as a whip or to choke. Coins and other small objects can be thrown on your attacker’s face to render him temporarily blind. It's okay if you don't have pepper spray. Spraying perfume or any other liquid besides water directly at a person’s eyes will hurt. If you are at home: cooking spray, hair spray, air freshener, etc.
Don’t panic! Think and respond instantly, as if your life depends on it.
It probably does!!
Anything and everything you have with and on you could be useful.

Presence of Mind
Presence of mind is just as important as knowing self defense techniques. Being aware of your situation is the best weapon when you need to defend yourself and save your life.
Catch your attacker by surprise with a quick response and not appearing scared. Put fear aside and deal with the moment. Your emotions can be dealt with AFTER surviving the attack, and when you have loving support.
Trust your instincts. They will guide you. If you sense something is wrong, leave. Always be aware of your situation. Know what’s happening around you. This alone will help you notice signs of trouble early enough to prevent an attack.
