Where should the safe zone be located?

Explanation:
Staying upwind and at the same level, at least 100 feet away from the hazard, is how you establish a safe zone. The wind carries the toxic plume away from you, so being upwind minimizes inhalation risk. Being at the same level helps avoid exposure from plumes that rise or settle at different elevations, and the distance provides a safety buffer for plume expansion, splash risk, or wind shifts. Directly at the hazard, downwind, or below ground would place responders in the path of the release and increase exposure risk.
