WHAT TO DO IF YOU ARE ADVISED TO TAKE SHELTER
To protect yourself, you need to avoid physical contact with radioactive materials and avoid inhaling them:
Stay indoors in your home, work place, or a nearby building. Once inside, do not leave unless you are told it is safe to go out or you are advised by your emergency management officials or law enforcement personnel to evacuate.
Close all windows, doors, and fireplace dampers. This keeps outside air from entering your home or work place.
Turn off any heating or cooling system that draws in air from the outside. If it becomes stuffy, use portable or ceiling fans to circulate the air inside.
If you have been outside during the period just before you were warned to take shelter, take a shower or at least wash your face and hands with a washcloth using soap and tepid water. Change into clean clothes; put the clothing you were wearing and the washcloth into a plastic bag.
Keep your radio on and tuned to one of the local EBS stations- KGNC-AM (710) or KGNC-FM (97.9). Listen for information and instructions
Begin to assemble items you may need in case you are advised to evacuate.
If you must go outdoors, cover your nose and mouth with a damp cloth to avoid inhaling any radioactive materials that might be present.
