If you're inside your house or car, make sure all of the heating and air conditioning fans are turned off. This involves circulating air throughout your vehicle. While several manufacturers have greatly improved air filters, the risk of bringing dangerous substances into your car or house is never worth it.
3. Get your first aid kit, radio, and N95 masks ready.
Remove the N95 masks from your emergency pack and wrap them around your mouth and nose. Take out your emergency radio and listen for any announcements on the shelter-in-place order.

Some chemicals are heavier than others and are thus unable to go above ground. As a result, it's best to seek refuge above ground.

Seal all cracks around your windows and doors using duct tape from your emergency pack, whether inside your car or at home.

Duct tape is utilized to assist establish an airtight seal, which ensures your safety.
Follow these measures to be prepared the next time a shelter-in-place order is issued. Always have your personal emergency kit and roadside emergency kit on hand; it's not just a bag; it's your family's life.
