| How do I take shelter? |

- If possible, bring pets inside. Do not risk your safety for your pets.
- Close and lock all windows and doors to the outside.
- Turn off heating/air conditioning systems and close vents.
- If there is a fireplace, put out the fire and close the damper.
- Do not call 9-1-1 unless you are reporting an immediate life threatening situation. Instead, call (541) 676-5161 in Morrow County or (541) 276-7111 in Umatilla County.
- Go to a room in your house that has the fewest windows/doors to the outside. Put duct tape around the edges of windows and outlets. If you have pre-cut plastic sheeting for the windows, tape the plastic over the windows instead.
- Bring enough food and water for a few hours and a radio into this room.
- Shut and seal the door to the rest of the house with duct tape (place a towel over the bottom of the door).
- Listen carefully to instructions provided on one of the following stations:
1090-AM, KLWJ-AM, Umatilla *92.5-FM, KZHR-FM, Walla Walla
1240-AM, KTIX-AM, Pendleton 99.2-FM, KQFM-FM, Hermiston
1290-AM, KUMA-AM, Pendleton 103.4-FM, KWHT-FM, Pendleton
1360-AM, KOHU-AM, Hermiston 107.7-FM, KUMA-FM, Pendleton
* Spanish-speaking station
- Stay indoors until you receive official notice it is safe to go out, or are asked to leave the area. Information on the radio will tell you what to do next.
