If any of these events occur, personnel should seek shelter indoors, close up the building, and wait for the danger to pass. Why not just evacuate? In some situations evacuation poses more danger than staying inside. SIP is used until it is safe to evacuate and should be used for more than a few hours. SIP rooms should also have a kit that contains the following supplies: pre- cut plastic sheeting to fit over all doors/windows/vents, rolls of duct tape to secure the plastic, radio, towels, bottled water, flashlight with batteries, first aid kit, and checklists/rosters for account- ability.
