Emergency Managers will announce or warn you to Shelter In Place (SIP) is a very effective way to survive a variety of life threatening events.

An announcement to Shelter In Place will be accompanied by the type of event.

Severe weather i.e. a thunder and lightening or wind storm means to seek substantial shelter preferably indoors.

Tornado move to a smaller well constructed area like a bathroom or closet, if available move to a basement.

For a chemical release move to a preselected SIP room and seal the doors, vent and windows.

Do not leave until Emergency Managers or responders announce “All Clear”.
