• For a chemical, radiological, or biological threat, use plastic sheeting and duct tape to seal off windows, doors, and vents. Turn OFF fans and air conditioners.
• Don’t use gas, propane, or kerosene appliances; vapors might be toxic.
• Listen to the radio or TV for emergency updates.
• Stay indoors until given the “all clear” signal or other instructions.
