  • Use elevators if you have a disability or are helping a person with a disability.
  • Stay away from windows, glass, stairwells, and unsecured objects.
  • Unless an emergency situation exists, DO NOT call 911 or Central Dispatch.
  • Remain in shelter until the "All Clear" message is given.
  • If outdoors, lie in low-lying ditch, culvert or at low land levels. Protect your face and head.
