Shelter-in-Place

If authorities recommend sheltering in place:

  • Go inside
  • Monitor local radio or TV (via social media, if needed)

 

If the Shelter-in-Place recommendation is due to a chemical event:

  • Close all windows and doors.
  • Turn off furnace, air conditioner, exhaust fans.
  • Seal a room using wet towels at base of door, breathe through a damp towel to filter air.
  • Continue to monitor TV or radio broadcasts or social media pages for further instructions, keep phone lines free.
  • Unless told to do so by authorities:
    • DO NOT evacuate or travel
    • DO NOT bring home children from school, or other family members from work
    • DO NOT call 911 for information (these lines are needed for medical emergencies)
