How should I leave the outside of my home?

·         Leave on exterior lights.

 

·         Close all exterior vents, windows and doors.

 

·         Place all combustible patio furniture and other outdoor decorations inside your home or garage.

 

·         Do Not shut off natural gas or propane at the meter unless you specifically smell or hear a gas leak.

 

·         If there is time, cover windows, vents and attic openings with at least 1/2 inch thick plywood.

 

·         Prop a ladder against the house so firefighters can have easy access to the roof.

 

·         Wet down shake and shingle roofs

 

·         Fill trash cans and buckets with water and place them where firefighters can easily find them.

 

·         Connect garden hoses to faucets.

 

·         If you have an emergency water source such as a pool, pond or portable pump, mark its availability in a place that can be seen from the street.
