Geoff Hinkle (Emergency Management Coordinator with the Kansas City, MO Office of Emergency Management) expands the ongoing community evacuation order by issuing a shelter‑in‑place advisory for the residential and commercial areas immediately south of the HFSM Kansas City Terminal. The advisory applies to all homes and businesses located:
• south of the BNSF Railway Argentine Yard.
• east of Interstate 635.
• west of U.S. Highway 69.
• north of Steele Road.
Residents and businesses within this defined zone are instructed to remain indoors, secure all windows and doors, shut off HVAC systems that draw outside air, and await further guidance from local authorities as Unified Command evaluates evolving air‑quality and public‑safety conditions. This is a Drill!
