* Stay calm. If you see a bear and it has not seen you, calmly leave the area. As you move away,make noise to let the bear discover your presence.
* Stop. Back away slowly while facing the bear.Give the bear plenty of room to escape. Bears rarely attack people unless they feel cornered orprovoked.
* Do not run or make any sudden movements. Running could prompt the bear to give chase, and you cannot outrun a bear. If on a trail, step off the trail and slowly leave the area.
* If there is a bear in your yard and it approaches you, make yourself look big and make loud noises. Remain at a safe distance and throw rocks to make the bear feel unwelcome.
* If there is a bear in your house prop open all doors to the outside and get out of the way of the exit. Never close a bear into a room. Make noises and yell at bear to leave the house. Don'tapproach the bear but make sure it knows it is violating your territory.
* If you surprise a bear speak softly. This may reassure the bear that you mean it no harm.
* Fight back. If a black bear attacks you, fight back. Black bears have been driven away whenpeople have fought back with rocks, sticks, binoculars and even their bare hands.
