What to do

Depending on the emergency situation, local emergency management personnel may decide that the best way to keep people safe is to have them shelter-in-place. There are different steps you can take to be safe, depending on the type of emergency. In general, if you are advised to shelter-in-place, go to your home or a secure permanent structure as quickly as possible. Go immediately if the alert is for a chemical or radiological event.

Follow instructions

In all cases, follow the instructions given on your EAS radio station. Keep your radio with you throughout the emergency and continue to listen for advisories and announcements.
