– Opening windows (2) might be done in specific emergencies (like gas leaks) but is not a universal step in a *basic* shutdown, especially if security or containment is an issue (as noted in the option itself regarding bomb threats).
– Unplugging vents and pipes (4) is generally not part of a basic shutdown procedure and could potentially create new hazards or interfere with containment systems. Shutdown procedures focus on isolation and securing systems, not disconnecting them in a manner that might release contents or disrupt safety features.
