Overview

About Shelter-in-Place Kit

For a chemical release or a nuclear emergency, the official instruction in Canada is to go inside, stay inside and stay tuned. Federal guidance is to be prepared to shelter in place for at least 24 hours. This kit holds what you need to close up one interior room in a few minutes: sheeting cut to cover windows, doors and vents, tape, and a card that walks you through it.

Sealing a room reduces how much contaminated air and dust gets in. It does not stop radiation passing through walls, and it is a short-term measure only, because a sealed room slowly runs low on fresh air.

What it does not do

We would sooner you knew now.

  • Does not stop radiation passing through walls or windows. Dense building material and distance do that: choose a basement or an interior room.
  • Short-term only. Follow official instructions on when to ventilate or leave.
  • Does not include potassium iodide. In Ontario, KI pills are free to anyone living or working within 50 km of a nuclear station at preparetobesafe.ca.

Questions

Does ICEKIT sell potassium iodide (KI) pills?

No. KI protects only the thyroid, only from radioactive iodine, and should be taken only when public health authorities say so. In Ontario, anyone living or working within 50 km of a nuclear generating station can order it free at preparetobesafe.ca, which covers most of the Greater Toronto Area.

What should I do in a nuclear emergency?

Go inside, stay inside and stay tuned to official instructions. Choose a basement or the centre of a solid building, close windows and turn off ventilation that draws in outside air. Federal guidance is to be prepared to shelter in place for at least 24 hours.

Can I return it?

Yes. Unopened kits can be returned within 30 days of delivery for a refund. See the Shipping & Returns page for the details.
