People must quickly identify and collect in the safe room when the shelter-in-place warning goes off.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smartsign.com\/shelter-in-place-projecting-glow-sign\/sku-s2-1702-g\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter \" src=\"https:\/\/images.smartsign.com\/img\/lg\/S\/shelter-in-place-projecting-glow-sign-s2-1702-g.png\" width=\"287\" height=\"366\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This signage must be highly visible for occupants to spot it, day or night, and visible from all directions. This would be installed right above the room designated as shelter-in-place. It is also a glow sign (like most emergency signs) which functions without electricity.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smartsign.com\/shelter-in-place-upper-left-arrow-sign\/sku-s2-1740-ul\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter \" src=\"https:\/\/images.smartsign.com\/img\/lg\/S\/shelter-in-place-upper-left-arrow-sign-s2-1740-ul.png\" width=\"340\" height=\"177\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Directional signs are also important in emergencies. Your occupants may be familiar with shelter-in-place preparations, but contingencies can still cause a panic. Arrow signs aid in smooth navigation. Such signs are even more critical if your building is a large one or when there are multiple shelters spaced out from each other.<\/p>\n<p>Check out SmartSign\u2019s line of <a href=\"\/shelter-signs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Shelter in Place signage<\/a>!<\/p>\n<div class=\"related-products\">\n<h3>Related Products<\/h3>\n<div class=\"slitrule\"><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div class=\"wraptocenter\"><a href=\"\/fema-safe-room-signs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.smartsign.com\/img\/md\/S\/fema-custom-combined-safe-room-sign-s-3763.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>FEMA Safe Room Signs<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"wraptocenter\"><a href=\"\/emergency-shelter-signs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.smartsign.com\/img\/md\/S\/hazardous-weather-emergency-sign-s-1542g.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Emergency Shelter Signs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Where evacuation is risky\u2014in events like chemical or radiological explosion, a gas line break, a leak from a nearby plant, terrorist threat\u2014sheltering in place is the only recourse to defend yourself and those around you.
