Fact Sheet:In Case of Emergency……
Preparing for an Imminent Missile Threat

§Prepare

・Build an Emergency Supply Kit (Review Fact Sheet 2)
・Make a Family Emergency Plan (Review Fact Sheet 2)
・Make a list of potential concrete shelters near
　your home, workplace and school. These places
　can include basements or the windowless center
　area of middle floors in multi-level buildings.
　　○　Fallout shelters do not need to be
　　　　specifically constructed for protecting
　　　　against fallout. They can be protected
　　　　space, provided that the walls and roof
　　　　are thick and dense enough (i.e.
　　　　concrete) to absorb radiation given off by
　　　　fallout particles.

§During

・Listen for official information and follow
　instructions provided by emergency response
　personnel. Based on what is known about the
　threat, you may be asked to take shelter, go to a
　specific location, or evacuate a specific area.
　(Review Fact Sheet 1).

・If an attack warning is issued, take cover as
　quickly as you can, under concrete structure or
　below ground if possible, and stay there until
　instructed to do otherwise.

・Find the nearest building, preferably built of brick
　or concrete, and go inside to avoid any
　radioactive material outside.

・Stay where you are, even if you are separated
　from your family. Inside is the safest place for all
　people in the impacted area. It can save your
　life.

・Expect to stay inside for at least 24 hours unless
　otherwise told by authorities.
