Taking Shelter
In-house shelter may be recommended during a
nuclear power station accident. In-house shelter means going indoors
and remaining indoors until the emergency is over. Such action will
reduce an individual’s exposure to radiation resulting from a
radioactive release of short duration.
When instructed by local and state emergency
officials to take shelter:
- If you have livestock, put them under cover
and provide them with stored feed and water.
- Go indoors and close all windows and doors.
Turn off fans and heating and air conditioning that require
outside air, and close any other air intakes.|
- Do not use your telephone unless it is
absolutely necessary. Keep phone lines open for emergency
communication.
- Cover all open food containers. The food,
water and milk supplies in your home are safe for consumption.
- Do not eat any produce from a vegetable
garden until you are advised. In the event of a radioactive
release, the produce may become contaminated.
- Remain indoors until officially notified that
the emergency is over.
- Remember to stay tuned to KFAB 1110 AM radio.
