TERRORISM ACTION PLAN

Actions to Consider Before a Terrorist Event
  •     Be aware of your surroundings.
  •     Take precautions when traveling.
  •     Leave an area if you feel uncomfortable or if something does not seem right.
  •     Assemble an emergency supply kit and make family communication plan.
  •     Create an evacuation plan for your family.
  •     Share your designated emergency meeting place with your family.
  •     Make sure your employer has up-to-date information about any medical needs you may have and on how to contact your family.
  •     If you have pets, find out about pet-friendly shelters.
Actions to Consider During a Terrorist Event
  •     Take cover immediately.
  •     Stay low to the floor or ground.
  •     Monitor the ReadyFrankfort app or local media for alerts and updates.
CHEMICAL THREATS
In the event of a chemical attack, you should:
  • Take immediate action to get away.
  • If the chemical has been released inside a building where you are, get out of the building without passing through the contaminated area, if possible.
  • If you can't get out of the building or find clean air without passing through the area of a chemical attack, it may be better to move as far away as possible in the building and shelter-in-place.
If you are instructed to remain in your home or office building, you should:
  • Close doors and windows and turn off all ventilation, including furnaces, air conditioners, vents and fans.
  • Seek shelter in an internal room and take your emergency supply kit with you.
  • Shelter-in-place.
  • Monitor the ReadyFrankfort app or local radio for alerts and instructions from authorities.
If you are caught in or near a contaminated area, you should:
  • Move away immediately in a direction upwind of the source.
  • Find shelter as quickly as possible.
  • If you are outside, quickly decide what the the fastest way to get to clean air. Consider if you can get out of the area or if you should go inside the closest building and shelter-in-place.
