What to do when Ordered to Shelter-in-Place

  1. Account for everyone and document who is present and those unaccounted for.
  2. Allow employees and customers to make short calls to family/friends to check in. Encourage those who are present to use their cell phones for this purpose, and keep the landline available for emergency use.
  3. Monitor radio, TV and internet (if possible) for updates.
  4. Remain sheltered-in-place until you receive notification that it is safe or that the Incident Commander has ordered an evacuation.
