Are you using fire safe emergency lighting?
✅Use flashlights for emergency lighting & stock up on batteries.
✅Never use candles for emergency lighting. Many things in your home can catch fire if they come too close to a candle’s flame.

After a disaster:
✅Smell and listen for leaky gas connections.
✅If you believe there is a gas leak, immediately leave your home. Keep the doors open as you leave.
✅Before turning the gas back on, have the gas system checked by a professional.
