Shelter in Place
Shelter in Place is a method to help keep contaminated air out of your home.
When advised, immediately follow these steps:
Shelter: Go inside. Bring pets in, if possible.
Shut: Seal house so contaminates cannot enter
Close and lock windows, doors and fireplaces
Turn off ventilation systems such as heating, air conditioning, fans, stove, dryer, etc.
Use duct tape and plastic to seal windows, doors, vents, electrical outlets and holes around pipes and fixtures.
Go to an above ground room (not basement) with the fewest windows/doors.
Listen to radio or TV.
Avoid using the phone if possible.
Listen: Unless in immediate danger, do not leave your home unless you are instructed to do so.
Make "go packs" in case of evacuation
If evacuating, use routes suggested by authorities. If possible go uphill, upwind.
