As we recognize National Preparedness Month, we’re highlighting one of the most important emergency safety skills: knowing when and how to shelter in place.

While some emergencies require evacuation, others may call for staying indoors until conditions improve. Being familiar with shelter- in-place procedures can help you respond quickly and confidently when every moment counts.

A little preparation today can make a big difference tomorrow. Watch the lantermanandfriends.org emergency prep series, and share it with family, friends, caregivers, and support teams to help everyone be ready when emergencies happen.
