Good morning everyone,
Continuing our Emergency Preparedness Month series:
You must find protection for you and your family when disaster strikes. Deciding whether to evacuate or to shelter in place depends on many factors, including the hazard you are facing and whether your shelter will keep you safe.
Evacuation: Local officials declare when a mandatory evacuation will occur. Local officials may also advise, but not require, evacuations.
Sheltering: The best protection in high winds, tornadoes, and many other events is to find shelter in an interior room away from windows, doors, and flood waters.
You should always follow the orders and advice of local government authorities and first responders.
Have a good day everyone,
Tina Arthur, CHMM
