back to FAQ What are the most important points to remember in case we are told to “shelter-in-place”?
• You should be in a place that will afford you protection from a contaminant in the air. • Instructions on how to “shelter-in-place” are provided at http://www.redcross.org/services/disaster/beprepared/shelterinplace.html • Please do not confuse the recommendation to have at least three days’ worth of disaster supplies on hand with the amount of time that you may be asked to shelter-in-place. We always recommend having at least three days’ worth of supplies in case stores are closed and roads are impassible due to a disaster like a flood or winter storm.
