Step 2 of making an emergency plan: Where will you shelter in an emergency?

• Mass care shelter: Do you know where emergency shelters are offered in your community? Do you have an emergency kit to take with you? Are pets allowed at the shelter locations?
• Shelter in place: What is your shelter plan at home, work, school, or any place you frequent? Do you have emergency supplies at those places?
• Stay at home: In some emergencies, staying at home as much as possible may be recommended.

Need an emergency plan but don’t know where to begin? Start here!

Step 1: How will you receive emergency alerts and warnings?

Emergency alerts and warnings are sent to the public via mobile phone, NOAA weather radio, broadcast television and radio, and outdoor warning sirens.

Remember that outdoor warning sirens are only intended to be heard outdoors and not inside buildings. Not all communities have functioning outdoor sirens.

Learn about the types of alerts and how to receive them at the link in the comments.
