Residential
Shelter-In-Place Video
When
industrial accidents occur public officials typically evacuate
the public. In certain circumstances it is preferable to
shelter people in their residences. In addition to staying
indoors, people can increase their protection from chemicals
by choosing a safe room and sealing it with tape and plastic.
The purpose of this training video is to teach residents
how to shelter-in-place during an accidental or intentional
release of chemical agent vapor. Although intended for residents
living in the areas serviced by the Chemical Stockpile Emergency
Preparedness Program (CSEPP), residents in other areas that
could be affected by a release of hazardous chemical vapors
may also find the training useful. The training has been
developed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) for the
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the United
States Army's Soldier and Biological Chemical Command (SBCCOM).
It is available in VHS and DVD formats. |
