Many of us have heard about sheltering-in-place during a chemical or radiation emergency, but most of us may not have enough information about what it exactly means to shelter-in-place. Depending upon the type of emergency, shelter-in-place instructions from response officials will vary greatly (for example, you don’t always need to seal off the room with plastic and duct tape).
The American Red Cross offers a detailed, yet easy to follow Shelter-in-Place During a Chemical or Radiation Emergency guide that is an excellent addition to any family emergency preparedness kit. The guide also contains links to other preparedness information such as supply checklists, pet care, emergency plans, and school preparedness programs.
