In a Disaster: Know How to Turn Off Utilities

Thursday, September 23, 2010 | Posted by LAFD Media and Public Relations

Make sure you have all the tools to be READY.GOV
During National Preparedness Month, the Los Angeles Fire Department reminds you...

In some emergencies you may be required to turn off your utilities. You need to be able to:
  • Locate the electric, gas and water shut-off valves.
  • Keep necessary tools near gas and water shut-off valves.
  • Teach adult family members how to turn off utilities.
NOTE: If you turn off a natural gas supply, a professional must turn it back on. Do not attempt to do this yourself!
