Prepare in a Year 2024: In November, Shelter in Place

You can prepare your household for emergencies in one year by taking a few small steps each month.

Join the Prepare in a Year 24 movement to get ready AND enter monthly drawings to win prizes.

The task for November is to prepare for sheltering in place. Sheltering in place is not something we have much reason to do in western Washington. But when we do, it is of utmost importance to do it right. Almost always, the occasion will be a chemical, biological, or radiological event.

  1. Select a room in your home for your safety room. Choose one with access to a bathroom and few windows, if possible.

  2. Create a shelter-in-place kit to store in the safe room. Read more here.

  3. Answer the question on the submission form and submit the required photo.
