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, school officials will provide their protection.
• STEP 2 - SHUT DOORS AND WINDOWS.  Keep the contaminated air 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.  The following stations will keep you informed when it is safe to leave:

RADIO
