Get ready to leave whether evacuating or not. Find your car keys, coat, glasses, medicines, and umbrella. You may not be able to return. DO NOT take any items that are not important to your health and safety. Do it even if the power is off.
Electrical shorts can cause fires.
Use fire extinguishers to put out any small fire at its first hint. Do not try to deal with any fire that you cannot immediately suppress. While you remain inside, keep watch for smoke, fire, gas, broken pipes or other hidden damage. Do not use matches, lighters, open flame devices. If you suspect spilled flammables or gas to be present do not operate any electrical switches.
