Are You Prepared For An Emergency?

If a disaster was headed your way, would you know what to do? In some areas of the country, disasters seem to come around all the time, while in other areas, it might be a shock when disaster strikes. Either way, you should be aware of the dangers and how to prepare.

There are some general steps that can be taken in preparation no matter what type of disaster is expected. Taking these steps will minimize the risk of having a total loss of your home.

First, shut of the main breaker for your electricity. This will lessen the risk of a fire starting from an electric line being torn or a short due to water.

Next, turn off your main gas line. Gas explosions could level a building to the ground, so this is very important to take care of. Last, shut off the main valve for your water line. A busted pipe can dump gallons of water inside your home in the matter of a few minutes.
