First class 7d: Utilities

My family uses several utility services including gas, and electric. there are many potential hazards that can arise from these utilities.

• Gas: Gas leaks can be very harmful. you need to evacuate to a safe distance, call your gas utility or another professional. 
• Water: Water can be a serious problem if it causes the house to flood. If this happens, turn off the house water You should also call the professionals.
• Electric: If there is a problem with the power lines there is a power outage. If this happens you should use battery powered light sources.

Requirement 7e: Emergency plan

With my mom, I helped develop a plan for a fire, storm, power outage, and water outage.

• Fire: Evacuate the house and meet at the park across the street from our house, then call 911
• Storm: Go to the closet underneath the stairs and wait. If the storm causes a flood in the house go into the bathroom upstairs
• Power Outage: In the event of a power outage we will light candles and use battery powered lamps and flashlights.
• Water Outage: Prepare by filling bathtubs with water and filling old milk and juice jugs with water. Once the outage hits, get the stored water and drink that instead of the tap water.
