Response Reminders in a Time of Disaster

• Call your Insurance Company regarding property damage
• Beware of Carbon Monoxide (CO) Poisoning
  • Running any sort of generator or motor indoors or near an air intake is dangerous
  • Operating a barbecue indoors generates CO in hazardous quantities
• Safe Water
  • Water is a higher priority than food for survival
  • Make sure water is not contaminated before consuming
• Prevent Further Damage – Do NOT Repair
