How to stay safe while checking your home or business
If you’re concerned your home has sustained damage, wait until local weather services andor emergency response teams announce the storm has passed to assess the damage. Follow these tips to stay safe:
- Always assume downed any downed power lines are live and dangerous. Avoid them and alert law enforcement and your local utility company.
- Avoid all standing water
- Watch for broken glass, exposed nails, spilled chemicals, and other dangerous items
- Don’t check for damage after dark if at all possible. If you need to check at night, use a flashlight instead of an open flame to provide light.
- If you smell gas or suspect a leak, shut off your main gas line, open the windows and immediately evacuate before calling the gas company and 911.
