Sheltering in-place

  • If asked to stay indoors ("IN-PLACE SHELTERING"), seal your house so contaminants cannot enter. Close and lock windows and doors. Seal gaps under doorways and windows with wet towels and duct tape. Seal gaps around window and air conditioning units, bathroom and kitchen exhaust fans, and stove and dryer vents with duct tape and plastic sheeting, wax paper or aluminum wrap.
  • Close fireplace dampers. Close off nonessential rooms such as storage areas, laundry rooms and extra bedrooms.
  • Turn off ventilation systems.
