• Watch out for debris such as sheet metal, glass or other sharp material.
• Never touch power lines that are on the ground or dangling. They may still be alive. Contact Hydro-Québec or your local power company to repair lines.
• Never go into a building that has been damaged by wind.
• Test the quality of drinking water, especially after heavy rain.
