WATCH OUT!
Your safety is your first priority dur-
ing an emergency. Your route to med-
ical personnel may be blocked.
If the emergency has caused several
injuries your access to medical care
may be delayed.
TAKE THESE
PRECAUTIONS DURING
AN EMERGENCY TO
ENSURE YOUR SAFETY.
• Barbecues and cookstoves are
designed for cooking outside. During an emergency, it's wise to
keep them outside. Barbecues, cookstoves and kerosene lamps
release dangerous fumes which can overcome you if they are used
indoors where there is little ventilation. Keep in mind that you
won't know if fumes have reached a dangerous level. During a
power outage only battery operated smoke and carbon monoxide
detectors will be functioning.
• Learn how to connect your generator before you need to use it.
Although generators make dealing with an emergency a little easi-
er, they can be a danger if they are not hooked up properly. If it is
wired into the municipal wires, linemen working to restore power
can be electrocuted. Linemen do not know if a generator is in use
and will assume the lines are dead during a power outage.
• If there is a power outage, turn off the main switch. Unplug and
turn off the appliances. Also turn off the water taps connected to
your washing machine and dishwasher. When the power is
restored, plug in only the most essential appliances, leaving other
items for a few hours.
