If you detect the smell of natural gas, leave your house immediately. Do not use any electrical device.
Check house piping, appliances and vents for damage.
Check for fires or fire hazards.
Do not use matches, lighters or other open flames.
Do not operate electrical switches, appliances or battery-operated devices if you suspect natural gas leaks. This could create sparks that could ignite gas from broken lines.
If gas line breakage is suspected, evacuate immediately and shut off the gas at the meter.
Wear heavy shoes in all areas near broken glass or debris. Keep your head and face protected from falling debris.
Turn on a battery-operated radio if no gas leaks are found or a car radio to receive disaster instructions.
Do not use your telephone except in extreme emergency situations.
Call 9-1-1 from a neighbor’s house.
