Shelter in Place - Chemical Emergency
County-Wide Drill
October 4, 2024 at Noon
In coordination with the last scheduled outdoor warning siren test for 2024, Ottawa County will host a county-wide drill focused on sheltering in place. We are hoping for participation from ALL Ottawa County businesses, non-profits, schools, and citizens.
Participation in this drill will be up to each organization or citizen and can include:
- reviewing educational materials available
- practicing the “hear a siren – go inside and seek more information” procedure,
- evaluating plans for conducting a shelter in place response
- or physically practicing sheltering in place.
Sheltering in place during a chemical emergency involves isolating the air inside of the building from the contaminated air outside.
Help improve future drills. Please complete this short post-drill survey.
Be Prepared.
