Shelter in place
During a disaster if you stay in your home, you should:
  • Check your emergency supply kit.
  • Monitor your local tv and radio stations.
  • Fuel vehicles and generators.
  • Cover windows with plywood.
  • Bring in your pets.
  • Bring in all outdoor furniture, toys, potted plants, and any object that could be a missile.
  • Fill bathtubs and all available containers with water.
  • Turn off utilities, if requested.
  • Remain indoors in an inner room such as a closet, bathroom, or hallways on the lowest level of your home away from windows.
    Cover yourself and family members with a mattress or dining room table to protect yourself from possible flying debris.
