HOW TO COPE WITH SHELTERING IN PLACE
What To Expect: After the “All Clear”
After a shelter in place order is lifted, most
people will be able to resume normal activities.
Some people, including children, may have a
hard time getting back to usual routines. To
support children:
Explain that the danger is over and the
situation was not their fault.
Try to get back to normal routines and
activities as soon as possible.
Encourage them to talk or write about their
feelings, but don’t pressure them.
