Tips After An Earthquake

Home Tips > Tips By Category > Tips you can implement daily  After the Earthquake    Check for injuries, attend to injuries if needed, help ensure the safety of people around you.    Check for damage. If your building is badly damaged you should leave it until it has been inspected by a safety professional.    If you smell or hear a gas leak, get everyone outside and open windows and doors. If you can do it safely, turn off the gas at the meter. Report the leak to the gas company and fire department. Do not use any electrical appliances because a tiny spark could ignite the gas.    If the power is out, unplug major appliances to prevent possible damage when the power is turned back on. If you see sparks, frayed wires, or smell hot insulation turn off electricity at the main fuse box or breaker. If you will have to step in water to turn off the electricity you should call a professional to turn it off for you.
