What to do when Ordered to Shelter-in-Place
- Many adults with children will want to leave and find them in the event of an emergency. This is human nature, and facility managers should realize that they cannot control it. Facility managers should take whatever appropriate measures to maintain accountability and responsibility for those within or on their properties.
- Close and lock all windows and doors.
- Turn off heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems (HVAC).
- Turn off vent fans, fume hoods, and any other device that moves air.
