With a country still reeling after the worst attacks in recent memory, France has issued a step-by-step guide on "how to react in the event of a terrorist attack."

Posted Friday on the government's website, the guide has three-step instructions informing citizens they should "escape, hide, alert" in the face of danger.

It features diagrams suggesting ways to better protect oneself -- such as obstructing doorways with sofas, turning android devices to silent, hiding low under windows and not running toward police officers.
