Most emergencies result in one of two plans of action:
- GO – Evacuate, leave immediately, leave the building or the neighborhood. Disasters such as fires and floods are usually in this category.
- STAY – Shelter-in-place, don’t go out. Disasters such as tornadoes and chemical spills are typically in this category.
