IN THE EVENT OF A CHEMICAL RELEASE YOU MAY BE TOLD TO SHELTER IN PLACE
STEP 1 - GO INSIDE When inside stay inside until informed that it is safe to leave. This is more likely to be only a few hours, rather than a day or more. If your children are in school, their protection will be provided by school officials.
STEP 2 - SHUT DOORS AND WINDOWS Keep the contaminated air on the outside.
STEP 3 - TURN OFF HEATING, COOLING, OR VENTILATION SYSTEMS such as central units, window and attic fans. All of these systems bring in air from the outside.
STEP 4 - TUNE IN FOR INFORMATION Stay tuned to local media outlets to keep you informed.
