STAY SAFE BY SHELTERING IN PLACE

In some emergencies, the best way to stay safe is to stay where you are or shelter in place. This could be as simple as remaining inside while officials clear hazards from the area, or it may require more active measures like closing windows and shutting down the ventilation system to block out contaminated air.

To shelter in place:

• Identify a room with few doors and windows. Ideally, the room should allow 10 square feet per person.
• Tune into local television or radio news and follow the updates from emergency officials.
• Make use of Emergency Supply Kits and Go Bags.
