What does Shelter in Place Mean?
Shelter in Place means to stay in your home and not leave in the event of a chemical spill, storm or other unusual event.
Make prior arrangements to collect the supplies you may need. In the event, grab your shelter - in - place kit and go to the previously chosen room of your home. You will want to go to a room with few windows and as high in the home as possible (do not go to the basement if a chemical spill. Chemicals settle low to the ground). You will want to seal all windows, doors, electrical outlets and vents.

Look for the steps in all the videos for better understanding.
