KEY POINT
Public officials must know what other target groups are taught about shelter-in-place
at home, in the workplace and in public so that they understand and can
communicate appropriate procedures and take a leadership role in protecting the
public.
Whether one is at home, work, or elsewhere, there may be situations when it is simply best to stay put and avoid any uncertainty outside. There are a number of circumstances when staying put and creating a barrier between oneself and potential contaminated air outside, a process known as “sealing the room,” is a matter of survival and requires some preplanning.
