Be sure to lather the backs of your hands, between your fingers, and under your nails.Scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds. Need a timer? Hum the "Happy Birthday" song from beginning to end twice.Rinse your hands well under clean, running water.Dry your hands using a clean towel or air dry them.What should you do if you don’t have soap and clean, running water?Washing hands with soap and water is the best way to reduce the number of microbes on them in most situations. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Alcohol-based hand sanitizers can quickly reduce the number of microbes on hands in some situations, but sanitizers do not eliminate all types of germs. Hand sanitizers are not as effective when hands are visibly dirty or greasy. How do you use hand sanitizers?Apply the product to the palm of one hand (read the label to learn the correct amount).Rub your hands together.Rub the product over all surfaces of your hands and fingers until your hands are dry. General Emergency Situation InformationWeatherKnow the types of hazards, both natural and man-made, that are most common in your area. Michigan experiences severe weather year round, including tornadoes, thunderstorms, high winds, flooding, snowstorms, and ice storms. Because of this, you should understand the difference between a watch and a warning for severe weather.Severe Weather Watch: A severe weather watch means that severe weather may develop.Severe Weather Warning: A severe weather warning means a storm has developed and is on its way.The safest place to ride out any storm is inside a secure building, home, or apartment building. You should:Listen to weather updates and stay informed.Stay away from windows and doors.Keep your emergency supply kit handy, including a battery operated NOAA weather radio.Be ready to evacuate if necessary.FloodingShelter – In – Place: (from the American Red Cross)Shelter-in-place means selecting a small, interior room, with no or few windows, and taking refuge there. It does not mean sealing off your entire home or office building. Contaminants may be released accidentally or intentionally into the environment. Should this occur, information will be provided by local authorities via television and radio stations or by a phone call on how to protect you and your family. Because information will most likely be provided on television and radio, it is important to keep a TV or radio on. The important thing is for you to follow instructions of local authorities and know what to do if they advise you to shelter-in-place. If you are told to shelter-in-place, follow these instructions:Close and lock all windows and exterior doors. If you are told there is danger of explosion, close the window shades, blinds, or curtains. Turn off all fans, heating and air conditioning systems. Close the fireplace damper. Get your household disaster supply kit and make sure the radio is working. Go to an interior room without windows that's above ground level. In the case of a chemical threat, an above-ground location is preferable because some chemicals are heavier than air, and may seep into basements even if the windows are closed. Bring your pets with you, and be sure to bring additional food and water supplies for them. It is a good idea to have a hard-wired telephone in the room you select. Call your emergency contact and have the phone available if you need to report a life-threatening condition. Cellular telephone equipment may be overwhelmed or damaged during an emergency. If instructed to do so, use duct tape and plastic sheeting (heavier than food wrap) to seal all cracks around the door and any vents into the room. Keep listening to your radio or television until you are told all is safe or you are told to evacuate. Local officials may call for evacuation in specific areas at greatest risk in your community. Remember that instructions to shelter-in-place are usually provided for durations of a few hours, not days or weeks. There is little danger that the room in which you are taking shelter will run out of oxygen and you will suffocate. If you are driving a vehicle and hear advice to “shelter-in-place” on the radio, take these steps: If you are very close to home, your office, or a public building, go there immediately and go inside. Follow the shelter-in-place recommendations for the place you pick described above. If you are unable to get to a home or building quickly and safely, then pull over to the side of the road. Stop your vehicle in the safest place possible. If it is sunny outside, it is preferable to stop under a bridge or in a shady spot, to avoid being overheated. Turn off the engine. Close windows and vents. If possible, seal the heating/air conditioning vents with duct tape. Listen to the radio regularly for updated advice and instructions. Stay where you are until you are told it is safe to get back on the road. Be aware that some roads may be closed or traffic detoured. Follow the directions of law enforcement officials.Local officials on the scene are the best source of information for your particular situation. Following their instructions during and after emergencies regarding sheltering, food, water, and clean up methods is your safest choice. Evacuation: (from FEMA)When community evacuations become necessary, local officials provide information to the public through the media. In some circumstances, other warning methods, such as sirens or telephone calls, also are used. Additionally, there may be circumstances under which you and your family feel threatened or endangered and you need to leave your home, school, or workplace to avoid these situations.The amount of time you have to leave will depend on the hazard. However, many emergencies allow no time for people to gather even the most basic necessities, which is why planning ahead is important!FEMA’s Evacuation Guidelines:Always:If time permits:Plan places where your family will meet, both within and outside of your immediate neighborhood. Keep a full tank of gas in your car if an evacuation seems likely. Gas stations may be closed during emergencies and unable to pump gas during power outages. Plan to take one car per family to reduce congestion and delay. Make transportation arrangements with family or friends or your local government if you do not own a car.Listen to a battery-powered radio and follow local evacuation instructions.Gather your family and go if you are instructed to evacuate immediately.Leave early enough to avoid being trapped by severe weather.Follow recommended evacuation routes. Do not take shortcuts; they may be blocked.Be alert for washed-out roads and bridges. Do not drive into flooded areas.Stay away from downed power lines.Take your pets with you, but understand that only service animals may be permitted in public shelters.Take your emergency supply kit with you. Call or email the out-of-state contact in your family communications plan. Tell them where you are going.Secure your home by closing and locking doors and windows.Unplug electrical equipment such as radios, televisions and small appliances. Leave freezers and refrigerators plugged in unless there is a risk of flooding. If there is damage to your home and you are instructed to do so, shut off water, gas and electricity before leaving.Leave a note telling others when you left and where you are going.Wear sturdy shoes and clothing that provides some protection such as long pants, long-sleeved shirts and a cap.Check with neighbors who may need a ride. ................
