Boston Shelter-In-Place - What Do We Learn?

Always be ready to Shelter In Place (SIP).  It's a basic emergency preparedness lesson.  No one in Boston could have anticipated just a few days ago that parts of the city would be in a government ordered Shelter-In-Place situation because of a manhunt for the Boston Marathon terrorist.  None of us can be sure when we might have to do the same for similar or very different reasons.

Here are some good resources to learn the basics of how to Shelter In Place (SIP) in an emergency:

Always be prepared to GO (evacuate) or STAY (Shelter-In-Place).  Be secure EITHER WAY.
