Some emergencies may require you to protect yourself either by evacuating the area or by immediately seeking shelter inside a building. If one of these actions is required, you will receive instructions through radio and television broadcasts.

What to do if sheltering-in-place is necessary:

	Bring all family members and pets INSIDE the home.
	Close and lock all doors and windows. Turn off all heating, cooling and ventilation systems including attic and window fans. Close dampers in fire places.
	Take your Emergency Preparedness Kit in the room with you.
	Everyone needs to go to a pre-designated shelter room. Place a combination of plastic and duct tape around all doors, windows and electrical outlets in that room.
	Listen to radio and television broadcasts for further instructions.
	Do not leave your shelter area until local officials give an "ALL CLEAR".
	After the "ALL CLEAR" is given, open doors and windows to ventilate.
