When you first reenter your home

4/6/2020 (Permalink)

When you first reenter your home:

• If you smell gas or suspect a leak, turn off the main gas valve, open all windows, and your house immediately. Notify the gas company or the police or fire departments or State Fire Marshal’s office, and do not turn on the lights or do anything that could cause a spark. Do not return until you are told it is safe to do so.
• If the house has been closed up for several days, enter briefly to open doors and windows to let the house air out for a while (at least 30 minutes) before you stay for any length of time.
• If your home has been flooded and has been closed up for several days, assume your home has mold.
• If your home has been flooded, it also may be contaminated with sewage. See Floodwater After a Disaster or Emergency.
