Instructions to follow in case of a major industrial incident

If you hear a siren or are contacted by the Automated Emergency Measures System, here is what you should do:

• Immediately take shelter indoors, unless otherwise advised. Bring pets inside if they are nearby and easy to find.
• Close doors and windows, as well as ventilation, heating, air exchange and air conditioning systems.
• Seal openings with rags.
• Retrieve your 72-hour emergency kit.
• Leave your children at school or daycare. The staff at these establishments are informed of the measures to take.
• If you are in a vehicle, head out of the affected area as soon as possible, while respecting the Highway Safety Code. Close windows, air conditioning or heating.
• Free up telephone lines for emergency services. Do not call 911 or any other authority for information.
• Tune to 103.1 FM (CKOD) and follow updates on the Ville de Salaberry-de-Valleyfield website for instructions from authorities.

You will be informed as soon as the situation returns to normal.
