Shelter in Place

Shelter-in-place means selecting a small, interior room with no or few windows and taking refuge there. If the event calls for sheltering in place you will be notified by government officials, please do the following:

·         Bring your disaster and first aid kits into the room you choose.

·         Bring your family and pets indoors.

·         Lock doors, close windows, air vents and fireplace dampers.

·         Turn off fans, air conditioning and forced air heating systems.

·         Go into an interior room with few windows (might be the hallway).

·         Listen to the radio or watch TV for further instructions as they become available.

·         Choose a room with a hard-wired phone.
