Reception Center is a facility where evacuating residents check in. The facility could be located in a building, or alongside a road or evacuation route. Reception center staff will ask arriving evacuees to register their names so that they can be contacted later by relatives and friends. Evacuees may also tell reception center staff about any concerns they have about the evacuation, such as family members or pets that were left behind. If evacuees wish to stay in a Red Cross shelter, they will be directed to a nearby shelter.
Risk is exposure to possible loss or injury.
Shelter In Place is a protective action that attempts to prevent residents from being exposed to toxic chemicals by sheltering them indoors. Residents would be told make their dwellings as airtight as possible, to prevent chemically contaminated air from entering the structure. The agents are contained in projectiles, rockets, land mines, bombs, spray tanks and one ton containers. These weapons are stored in special bunkers, called igloos. Vulnerability is the susceptibility of life, property, or the environment to damage if a hazard occurs.
