Safety Tips:
• Be safe! Make sure everyone and everything is safe, including your pets.
• Stay tuned to the local news for important announcements, bulletins, and instructions concerning the storm area. They will inform you of medical aid and other forms of assistance, such as food, water and shelter.
• Do not touch downed power lines or objects in contact with downed lines. If there is flooding present in your house, do not turn the power back on.
• If it is dark when you are inspecting your home, use a flashlight. DO NOT use matches until all gas lines are checked for leaks.
