When viking raiders appeared on the horizon, local people tended to run away as fast and as far as they could. If they had time, they would collect what valuables they had so that they would not fall into viking hands. Some settlements had special fortifications built specifically for hiding inside. The vikings could not break in to harm them and the villagers knew that the raiders would have to leave eventually before real soldiers arrived.
It should be pointed out that not all vikings were raiders. Many traveled far and wide as merchants and colonists. Seeing a viking ship coming was not always something to inspire terror.
