Chemical Threats - Diagram
 

1. A chemical attack is the deliberate release of a toxic gas, liquid or solid that can poison people and the environment.

2. Watch for signs such as many people suffering from watery eyes, twitching, choking, having trouble breathing or losing coordination.

3. Many sick or dead birds, fish or small animals are also cause for suspicion.

4. If you see signs of a chemical attack, quickly try to define the impacted area or where the chemical is coming from, if possible.

5. Take immediate action to get away from any sign of a chemical attack.

6. If the chemical is inside a building where you are, try to get out of the building without passing through the contaminated area, if possible.
