Shelter in Place
"Shelter-in-place" means selecting an interior room or rooms within your home, or ones with no or few windows, and taking refuge there. In the event of an emergency, Shelter-in-Place where you are unless directed otherwise by response officials.
- Close all doors, windows, and sky lights.
- Turn off thermostats and air conditioners.
- Follow the City's Facebook page for the latest updates at https://www.facebook.com/CityofSLT or listen to the local radio and check for EAS Alerts on KRLT 93.9 FM or KOWL 1410 AM, and local television station (Channel 21).
- Have a bag packed in the event the strategy changes from Shelter-in-Place to Evacuation.
Local officials on the scene are the best source of information for your particular situation. Following their instructions during and after emergencies regarding sheltering, food, water, and evacuation is your safest choice.
