When a Guide Is Not a Substitute for Immediate Action
If you smell gas, leave the area and contact the gas utility or emergency services from a safe location. If sewage has backed up, avoid contact with the affected area. If uncontrolled water is escaping and the main shutoff can be reached safely, turn it off. Stay clear of water near damaged wiring or electrical equipment.
