Here in DEM, we try to mean what we say and say what we mean. But what if you don't know what we mean? We got some calls earlier today from people that received our automated call regarding the fire and the direction to Shelter-in-Place. The reverse call indicated to stay indoors and shut windows, but if you didn't hear the message, you may not know what we meant. Here are the basics:
* Go indoors immediately
* Close off nonessential rooms such as storage areas, laundry rooms, and extra bedrooms
* Close all doors and windows
* Turn off any air conditioning or furnaces
* If smoke begins to seep in under doors and windows, seal gaps and cracks under doorways and windows with wet towels and duct tape
* If you are told there may be a danger of explosion near your area, close the window shades, blinds, or curtains. To avoid injury, stay away from the windows. If windows break due to the explosion, the shades will help prevent glass from shattering into your home.
* Remain indoors until an all-clear message is given via phone, radio, television or computer
