“Hazardous Materials Awareness Week”
If a hazardous material release happened today do you know the procedures to
shelter in place?
As part of Florida's Hazardous Materials Awareness Week the American Red Cross and
other response organizations conducted a SHELTER IN PLACE SIMULATION for local media outlets. For

Medical, Search & Rescue, Disaster Fire Operations and help your neighbors following an Emergency or
Disaster by signing up for the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Training.
