Shelter-in-Place

A shelter-in-place means finding a safe location indoors, depending on the situation, and staying there until given the “All Clear” message or until told to evacuate. Examples of shelter-in-place include Tornado warnings.

Identify a safe area for inclement weather. Go to the first floor of the building. Stay away from doors, windows, and outside walls. Find an interior room. Stay in the center of the room. Stay in a protective position until given an “All Clear” notification.
