THE DEER PARK LEPC WOULD LIKE YOU TO 'SHELTER IN PLACE' BY PRACTICING THE FOLLOWING STEPS:

1.  GO INSIDE IMMEDIATELY.
Seek the nearest enclosed structure, whether it's a house, business, garage or vehicle.  If you know of any unattended child in your neighborhood, call them and tell them to remain indoors.  Keep any pets inside also.  Gather emergency supplies like a portable radio, flashlight and extra batteries.

2.  CLOSE UP.
Close all doors, windows and other sources of outside air.  Turn off air conditioning or heating systems and close the fireplace damper to keep chemical vapors from entering.  Ceiling fans or rotary fans inside the building can be safely used to keep cool.

Cover any gaps, holes or cracks with wet towels or sheets to prevent vapors from entering your home.  If you have trouble breathing, contact 9-1-1 and cover your nose and mouth with a damp washcloth, then take slow, shallow breaths and try to stay calm.

3.  STAY INFORMED.
Stay off the telephone.  City officials may try to telephone your home or business using the city's computerized telephone notification system.  Do not call police, fire or 9-1-1 unless you are reporting an emergency at your location.  Overloaded phone circuits may keep actual emergency calls from getting through.
