Prepare in a year: August

|| Utility Safety ||

Natural gas leaks and explosions are responsible for a significant number of fires after a major earthquake.

Water quickly becomes a precious resource after any disaster. Cracked lines can cause pollution to your water supply and/or water in your toilet or hot water tank can leak out.

Electricity sparks have the potential of igniting natural gas if it is leaking.

It is a BEST PRACTICE to make sure everyone in your family knows where the shut-off valves for your utilities are, and how to SAFELY turn them off. Better to figure these details out now, before disaster strikes.
