Shelter-in-Place

In emergency events, sheltering in place may be required.
Individuals may need to make the appropriate determination based on the circumstances. Additional safety training is available.

Shelter-in-Place means selecting a small, interior room with no or few windows. It could be due to chemical, biological and/or radiological contaminants released accidentally or intentionally into the environment.

Learn more about sheltering in place.

If the alarm sounds, stay in the building and shelter in place.
