Every homeowner should set up an emergency plan for their house hold. This plan should include a list of emergency shutoffs and other important items in the house to be aware of in case of an unexpected situation. You may need to find an expert to help locate, repair or maintain some of these shutoff valves and switches. Tag these items and take a tour with your family or anyone who may be at your home. Take the time to explain what these items do and how to operate the controls. Here is a basic list of some of the items to tag, for a more detailed information contact your local utilities, police and fire departments.
• Main electrical disconnect Furnace & Air main switch
• Water main valve or well shut off Emergency release for garage
• Water heater shut off door
• Any gas valves or mains Fire extinguishers
• Air conditioning disconnect Emergency toolbox
