If you are outside, hurry to a nearby sturdy building or lie flat in a ditch or low-lying area. Watch out for fallen power lines and stay out of the damaged areas. Listen for information and instructions. Use a flashlight to inspect your home for damage. Do not use candles at any time.
Smoke detectors save lives.
Install a battery-powered detector on each level of your home, as well as in the garage. Check each smoke detector at least twice a year. Replace the batteries once a year. Have a working fire extinguisher in the kitchen. Check for home fire hazards and fix them.
