Shelter in Place Workshop – Polk County (Click Here for Brochure)

In general, sheltering-in-place is appropriate when conditions require you seek immediate protection in your home, place of employment, school or other location when disaster strikes. Local officials are the best source of information when determining whether to evacuate or shelter-in-place. In an emergency, listen to your radio and follow the directions given by emergency officials.

Workshop Objectives

• Gain knowledge about “what is” Sheltering in Place
