(Undated) – Do you know what to do in case of a chemical emergency? The Crawford County Health Department reminds the public that if a chemical emergency happens, you may need to take steps to protect yourself and your family. You should get away from the area of the chemical release. Do not worry about what type of chemical it might be. Focus on getting it off your body as soon as possible. Undress and shower, if you are able, ideally in the first 10 minutes. If you cannot undress and shower, wipe off as much of the chemical as you can. Then you should get help by calling the Poison Control Center at 800-222-1222, calling 911, or going to the nearest hospital. The CDC is a great resource for additional information.
