If there is a release of hazardous materials, officials may recommend that you shelter-in-place.

• Go inside immediately. Shut all windows and doors, including the fireplace damper.
• Turn off and seal air conditioning/heating and ventilation systems.
• Listen to your radio for further instructions.
• Remain indoors until local authorities tell you it is safe to go outside.

Disaster Shelters:
In an emergency, you should remain at your home or workplace if it is safe to do so, as these will provide a more comfortable environment if shelter is necessary. If your home or workplace is unsafe and you do not have an alternative, evacuate to emergency shelters as designated by local officials.

• Tell a neighbor or family point of contact where you are going.
• Take your Go-bag with you to the shelter.
• Initially, emergency shelters may not be able to provide basic supplies and materials. Consider bringing extra items (e.g. blanket, pillow, air mattress, towel, washcloth, diapers, food, water and supplies for infants).
• Provide for your pet: Contact Animal Control for information on local kennels. Remember animals are not allowed in human shelters.
