Just a Little Friendly Advice To Everyone.

When you move into a new place or even in the place you live now. Take the time to find the shut off valves for water and gas. Also make sure you know where the main electrical breaker is in your home. The last thing you want to have happen is to NOT know where these are in a time of crisis.

A little shout out to NNNOLHI, for reminding me of this small but vitally important tasks.

Thanks brother.

1. Good tips! I will add...

know where your homeowner's policy is located. Keep business cards or printed information of emergency response companies and know where they are located.

2. I guess it would be a bad idea to test the shut-off valves and see if they work.

Often times one will go to shut off water in an emergency and find the gate valve is worn or inoperative.
