Bear Safety Tips
Black bears by nature tend to be wary of humans and avoid people. However, if you
encounter a black bear in your neighborhood or outdoors while hiking or camping,
follow these common-sense safety tips.
• If a bear enters your home, provide it with an escape route by propping all
doors open.
• Avoid direct eye contact, which may be perceived by a bear as a challenge.
Never run from a bear. Instead, slowly back away.
• To scare the bear away, make loud noises by yelling, banging pots and pans
or using an airhorn. Make yourself look as big as possible by waving your
arms. If you are with someone else, stand close together with your arms
raised above your head.
• The bear may utter a series of huffs, make popping jaw sounds by snapping
its jaws and swat the ground. These are warning signs that you are too
close. Slowly back away, avoid direct eye contact and do not run.
• If a bear stands on its hind legs or moves closer, it may be trying to get a
better view or detect scents in the air. It is usually not a threatening
behavior.
• Black bears will sometimes “bluff charge” when cornered, threatened or
attempting to steal food. Stand your ground, avoid direct eye contact, then
slowly back away. Do not run.
• If the bear does not leave, move to a secure area.
• Immediately notify the DEP's 24-hour, toll-free hotline at 1-877-WARN DEP
(1-877-927-6337).
• Families who live in areas with high black bear populations should have a
“Bear Plan” in place for children, with whistles, air horns and an escape route.
• Black bear attacks are extremely rare. If a black bear does attack, fight back!
• Never feed or approach a bear!
• Remain calm.
• Make the bear aware of your presence by
speaking in an assertive voice, singing,
clapping your hands, or making other noises.
• Make sure the bear has an escape route.

Bear Encounters
Once a bear has noticed you and is paying attention to you, additional strategies can help prevent the situation from escalating.
Identify yourself by talking calmly so the bear knows you are a human and not a prey animal. Remain still; stand your ground but slowly wave your arms. Help the bear recognize you as a human. It may come closer or stand on its hind legs to get a better look or smell. A standing bear is usually curious, not threatening.
Stay calm and remember that most bears do not want to attack you; they usually just want to be left alone. Bears may bluff their way out of an encounter by charging and then turning away at the last second. Bears may also react defensively by woofing, yawning, salivating, growling, snapping their jaws, and laying their ears back. Continue to talk to the bear in low tones; this will help you stay calmer, and it won't be threatening to the bear. A scream or sudden movement may trigger an attack. Never imitate bear sounds or make a high-pitched squeal.
Pick up small children immediately. Do not make any loud noises or screams—the bear may think it’s the sound of a prey animal. Slowly wave your arms above your head and tell the bear to back off. Do NOT run or make any sudden movements. Do not make any loud noises or screams—the bear may think it’s the sound of a prey animal.
Hike and travel in groups. Groups of people are usually noisier and smellier than a single person. Therefore, bears often become aware of groups of people at greater distances, and because of their cumulative size, groups are also intimidating to bears.
Make yourselves look as large as possible (for example, move to higher ground).
In short, it's up to the bear and what his/her plans are as no one knows how to act in bear encounters.
