•	Stay calm, listen carefully and follow all instructions.
•	Authorities will provide information on evacuation routes, temporary shelters and procedures.
•	Avoid using the telephone. Call 9-1-1 only in life-threatening emergencies.
•	Take your Emergency Supply Kit. These items may make you more comfortable while you are away from home.
•	Move quickly and calmly. Leaving the area quickly will reduce your chance of exposure to hazardous materials. Staying calm will help you move safely and avoid delays or accidents.
•	Do not assume that a shelter will have everything you need. Pack medications and specialty items for infants and those on restricted diets.
•	Only if you have time, seal your house so contaminants cannot enter. Turn off all electrical appliances (except your refrigerator) and lights as you leave.
•	If you need a ride, ask a neighbor. If your neighbor is not available to help you, listen to local radio or TV for further instructions.
•	Check neighbors to make sure they have been notified, and offer to help those with disabilities or other special needs.
•	Take only one vehicle to the evacuation site. Traffic may be very heavy and parking at a shelter may be limited.
•	For your safety, follow the exact route you are told to take. Shortcuts may put you in the path of danger.
