9c. Shelter-in-Place

Instructions to “Shelter-in-Place” and “Seal-the-Room”:
  •   Bring your family and pets inside.
  •  Lock doors, close windows, air vents and fireplace dampers. 
  • Turn off fans, air conditioning and forced air heating systems.
  • Take your emergency supply kit unless you have reason to believe it has been contaminated.
  • Go to an interior room with few windows, if possible.
  •  Seal all windows, doors and air vents with plastic sheeting and duct tape.  Consider measuring and cutting the sheeting in advance to save time.
  • Be prepared to improvise and use what you have on hand to seal gaps so that you create a barrier between yourself and any contamination.
  • Local authorities may not immediately be able to provide information on what is happening and what you should do.
  • Watch TV, listen to the radio or check the internet often for official news and instructions as they become available.
