Shelter in place plans address actions to take in which locations?

• A. Only at home
• B. At home, at work, at school, or in a vehicle
• C. In a shelter
• D. In a hospital

Answer: (B)

Shelter in place means staying indoors and taking steps to stay safe when danger is outside. The plan covers where you might be when an alert is issued, not just your home. So it applies to being at home, at work, at school, or in a vehicle. Emergencies can happen anywhere, and the guidance is meant for multiple settings, not just one location. Other options are too narrow: sheltering only at home ignores people in schools or workplaces; shelter in a designated shelter isn’t the same as sheltering in whatever building you’re in; and focusing on a hospital only applies to that facility rather than broader, general guidance.
