Notification of Emergency
In the event a biological or chemical release threatens your area, you will be notified of the incident in at least one of the following ways:
- · A law enforcement vehicle or fire truck using a public address system to warn you of the danger and provide some instructions on what to do.
- · A law enforcement officer or firefighter going door-to-door to notify residents of the danger and provide some instructions on what to do.
- · Through a "civil emergency message" over the NOAA Weather Alert Radio.
- · Through the Emergency Alert System (EAS) formerly called the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) which is rebroadcast by local radio and TV stations.
Depending on the situation, it may be necessary for you to evacuate during a biological or chemical release. In most cases however, you may be requested to "Shelter in Place"
