With the destruction of the chem

With the destruction of the chemical weapons at the Anniston Chemical Activity now begun, it's extremely important that you and your family know your zones for home, work and school. Know what to do if told to shelter in place. Know where you are to go if told to evacuate and select the route you and your family will use for the evacuation. In other words don't wait until something happens - prepare now and know what you will do. Look at this web site for shelter in place instructions. Put your kit together now.

If you live in Zones C4, C4A, C5, B12 or B13 you are authorized to receive protective equipment such as the protective room air cleaners and shelter in place kits. Please contact TCEMA for all equipment. If you live in any other CSEPP Zone you are authorized to receive shelter in place kits. Contact Talladega County EMA at 256-761-2125 for information on getting your shelter in place kit. It does not cost you anything - we have already paid for the equipment, distribution, and training. You also may be authorized to receive a Tone Alert Radio. If you don't have one call Talladega County EMA at 256-761-2125. It's much better to plan and prepare to be safe now than wait until later.

This agency remains dedicated to the protection of all Talladega County Citizens.
