ARTICLES & TIPS

Hazardous Material Release in the Air

If you are in a vehicle:

Move away from the "danger area" and avoid visible clouds.
Turn on your radio and follow all instructions from emergency services personnel. If it is a flammable material you will be required to shut off your vehicle and evacuate the area.
Close all windows and air vents. Shut off the heater or air conditioner so that it is not blowing air.
In most cases you are safer to drive from the area than to try to wait it out in a vehicle.
If you cannot drive out of the "danger area", shut off your vehicle and wait with the radio on. Turn on your hazard lights and use your horn and headlights to attract attention.
