Before a Chemical Attack

What you should do to prepare for a chemical threat:

• Check your disaster supplies kit to make sure it includes:
  • A roll of duct tape and scissors.
  • Plastic for doors, windows, and vents for the room in which you will shelter in place. To save critical time during an emergency, pre-measure and cut the plastic sheeting for each opening.
• Choose an internal room to shelter, preferably one without windows and on the highest level.
