"Be Invisible" Protocol: Personal Safety & Avoiding Danger

Goal: Minimize your exposure and risk when facing an immediate, physical threat (environmental, hostile, or accidental). Focus: Simple, instinctual steps to minimize risk, hide, or escape.

Step	Action: What You Must Do Now	Why This Saves You (Survival Rationale)	Safety Focus
1. The Situational Pause	Stop immediately and look, listen, and smell before you react. Identify the source of the danger and the safest direction of cover/escape.	Panic wastes precious seconds. A quick assessment helps you move away from the danger and toward safety.	Situational Awareness
2. Seek Hard Cover	If shots or explosions are a threat, immediately move behind the hardest, thickest object available (a concrete wall, a large tree, a sturdy vehicle engine block).	This provides physical protection against shrapnel and projectiles; soft cover (like thick bushes or wood fences) is not enough.	Physical Safety (Immediate Action)
3. Go Unseen	Stay low and avoid windows or open lines of sight. If surveillance is a risk, avoid looking directly at cameras or carrying bright, identifiable objects.	Reduces the chance of being targeted, recorded, or identified by an adversary. Blending in is safety.	Personal Security (Low-Profile)
4. Hands Up, Hands Visible	If you are stopped or detained, immediately place your hands in plain view (e.g., on your head or shoulders). Avoid sudden movements.	This reduces perceived threat and minimizes the risk of a violent response from those confronting you.	Immediate Action (Compliance)
5. Leave the Device	If your phone is seized or you are forced to unlock it, provide access, but DO NOT mention or open your "Secret Vault" (encrypted folder).	The physical safety of your person is paramount. Your secure data vault is designed to protect your most critical files even if your device is compromised.	Personal Safety over Data
