Question of the Month: How do you shelter in place?

If a shelter in place is ordered, there is something in the air that could, potentially, pose a risk to your health. You should go inside, close doors and windows, possibly seal window frames with duct tape and place a towel on the floor at the bottom of the door to block any gaps, turn off your AC/heater, and monitor local social media and tv stations.

How We Select Meeting Topics

Every year or so, DPCAC develops a Program Plan to assure it is addressing issues of greatest interest to community members. Community members, plant members, and guests brainstorm topics they believe DPCAC should address. Using sticky dots, they choose those they most want to cover in the coming year. By using different colors for community and plant members, the CAC can schedule the topics of most community interest. The Program Plan is flexible and may be changed by group agreement.

Contact Us if there are issues you would like DPCAC to address or if you would like details and an invitation to a DPCAC meeting.
