Shelter-in-Place means selecting a small, interior room if possible, with no or few windows, and taking refuge there. It does not mean sealing off your entire building. If you are told to shelter-in-place, follow the instructions provided:

REASONS WHY YOU MIGHT SHELTER-IN-PLACE:

HOW TO SHELTER-IN-PLACE:

Stop classes or work, or close business operations.

1. If there are others in the building, provide for their safety by asking them to stay - not leave. When authorities provide directions to shelter-in-place, they want everyone to take those steps immediately, where they are, and not drive or walk outdoors.
2. Close and lock all windows, exterior doors, and any other openings to the outside. Shut down ventilation fans and air conditioners.
3. If you are told there is danger of explosion, close the window shades, blinds, or curtains to help curtail flying debris.
4. Select interior room(s) above the ground floor, with the fewest windows or vents. The room(s) should have adequate space for everyone to be able to sit in. Avoid overcrowding by selecting several rooms if necessary.
5. Bring everyone into the room(s). Shut and, if possible, lock the door(s).
6. Monitor campus communications (email, website, LiveSafe, BraveAlert, emergency sirens) until you are told all is safe or you are told to evacuate by a University official. University and local officials may call for an immediate evacuation of specific areas at greatest risk.
