Shelter-In-Place
Shelter-In- Place simply means staying inside your home or business. During an accidental release of toxic chemicals, or emergencies involving hazardous materials where air quality may be threatened, shelter- in-place keeps you inside a protected area and out of danger.
If shelter-in-place is necessary you will be notified by local authorities. If you are asked to shelter-in-place, take the following steps:
●Take your children and pets inside immediately. While gathering your family, cover your mouth and nose with a damp cloth to provide a minimal amount of protection.●Close all the windows and doors in your home as well as the fireplace damper. Turn off all fans, heating and air conditioning systems, and any other ventilation.
●Go to an above-ground room (not the basement) with the fewest windows and doors (take battery operated radio with you).
●Wet some towels and jam them in the crack under the door.
●Close drapes, or shades over windows and stay away from windows.
●Stay in the room and listen to your radio until you’re told all is safe to evacuate.
●Once you are told to stop sheltering-in- place, vent your house by opening windows and turning on fans.
It is a good idea to take your 72-hour kit with you as you shelter in place
