SMART HOME

HOW ELECTRONICS CONNECT & HELP THE WORLD

Information Line: 989.642.2800 www.hscpoly.com

ARTIST: Owen Quinnan • Birch Run Marshall Greene Middle School • 8th Grade • Medium: Colored Pencils

INTERPRETATION: Innovative “smart” watches are helping people detect possible health issues like heart attacks and blood clots. These watches can connect to hospitals and family members, raising an alert during an emergency to get treatment sooner, which can save lives.

WATCH YOUR HEALTH

ARTIST: Zori Rasco • White Pine Middle School • 8th Grade • Medium: Markers

INTERPRETATION: I chose to draw a “smart” home because it relates to how my own house is set up. Alexa (virtual assistant) technology, for example, is used to control our lights. A smart home can help a lot of people throughout the world and do a lot of work for people who are elderly or live alone.

ARTIST: Salvador Guerra • Nouvel Catholic Central Elementary • 6th Grade • Media: Colored Pencils, Markers

INTERPRETATION: I have two dogs and it would be sad if they got lost. My drawing features a dog wearing a “smart” microchip implanted under its skin, which is smaller than a grain of rice. I am amazed by inventions like this, which can help people around the world track their pets and could help zoos as well.

“I would hope to see (20 years from now) technologies that center almost entirely on well-being. I think the brilliant minds of the future will focus on more metaphysical questions: How do we make people happier? How do we create meaningful connections? How do we help everyone live a fulfilling life?”

Community Safety Information Be Safe. Be Informed.


Community Safety Information

Below, you will find helpful safety information on how to prepare for

a potential chemical emergency. For a fast reference, please see the

Quick Safety Tips section at the end of this calendar.

This information is also posted on our webpage at www.hscpoly.com,

which also features:

• Information about warning sirens

• Icons that signal community alert status

• Chemical Fact Sheets

Please familiarize yourself

with this information at your

earliest convenience.

Shelter-In-Place

What is “shelter-in-place?”

Shelter-in-place is a proven

and effective method of protecting you and your family from the

hazardous effects of chemical accidents, such as liquid chemical

spills, vapor releases and fires involving hazardous materials. Such

accidents, while rare, could happen at any time and virtually anywhere.

Possible sources of a chemical emergency include manufacturing

facilities, chemical plants, warehouses, retail establishments, farms,

agricultural product centers, gas stations, and transportation (such

as trucks and rail cars).

individuals. Evacuation also endangers emergency personnel and individuals being evacuated by potentially exposing them to the chemicals in question.

What if I’m in a vehicle?

If you are inside a vehicle during a chemical emergency, stop the vehicle at a safe location as soon as possible. Do not attempt to drive home or to another location. Shut off the vehicle’s engine, and follow the same basic shelter-in-place procedures. Roll up the windows,

close vents, and turn on the radio for further instructions.

What about children at school?

If your children are at school or with a care provider, do not attempt to get them. Doing so could put you and them in danger. They are safest at school until the emergency is over.

Why an above-ground room?

Unlike a tornado emergency, basements are not recom-mended shelter locations for chemical accidents. Most

chemicals are heavier than air and will accumulate in low lying areas, like basements. So, an above-ground room is the safest spot during a chemical emergency. If you do not have an above-ground room, a ground-level room will work fine. If possible, select a room on the side of the house farthest from the source of the chemical.

What do the siren sounds mean?

We recommend you visit our webpage for audio examples of on-site sirens and the community warning siren. Below are descriptions:

How do I shelter-in-place?

1. When the Community Notification System is activated, immediately take your family and pets indoors.

2. Tightly close and latch all doors and windows.

3. Turn off all fans, heating and air conditioning systems.

4. Close fireplace dampers and any other vents to the outside.

5. Gather your emergency supply kit (see the following page).

6. Go to an above-ground room (not the basement) with the fewest windows and close the door.

7. Stuff damp towels in the open space between door and f loor.

8. If necessary, seal doors, windows and any vents with duct tape and plastic sheeting.

9. If you smell chemicals, breathe through wet washcloths or towels.

10. Stay in the room and listen to the radio or watch TV for further instructions.

11. If told to evacuate, follow instructions given by emergency personnel.

When should I shelter-in-place?

You should follow shelter-in-place procedures whenever you receive notification of a chemical emergency. This may be broadcast over the radio or cable television, directly by emergency personnel, or by the Community Notification System (such as sirens or telephone alerts). You should also shelter-in-place when you see or smell any unusual chemicals in the air.

Why not evacuate?

While evacuations may be needed in rare situations, there would normally not be enough time to safely evacuate all affected

How will I know when it is safe to go outside?

Depending on the nature and location of the emergency, notification

could occur in one of several ways: radio, television, directly by

emergency personnel, or via the Community Notification System

(such as sirens or telephone alerts).

Should I call 9-1-1 for information?

Authorities request that you do not call 9-1-1 unless you have a

medical emergency or need immediate assistance. Non-emergency

calls to 9-1-1 will tie up phone lines and dispatch personnel, preventing

them from addressing true emergencies. You can call the Information

Line at 989.642.2800.

What media sources will have emergency information?

Tune into your local media outlets for additional emergency information.

What should I have in my emergency supply kit?

It is recommended that you have supplies assembled for all types

of emergencies, including chemical accidents. Suggested items for

chemical emergencies include: bottled water, towels and washcloths,

plastic sheeting, duct tape, scissors (for cutting plastic), a radio and

flashlight, extra batteries, and a first aid kit.

The Tornado Warning, Muster Alert, Site or BuildingEvacuations sirens mean that Hemlock Semiconductor Operations employees and contractors need to take action by either sheltering-in-place or evacuating a building/area. Even though you may hear the on-site sirens, they are meant for those groups only.

These sirens are activated by Saginaw County 9-1-1 and are used to alert the community in the event of severe weather or a chemical incident.
