Consult an electrician if your home has flooded.Don’t turn anything on until a professional has checked.
Keep warm! But burn only wood or newspapers in your fireplace or woodstove.Consider moving to an alternate location. This may be a good idea if you anticipate an extended outage, especially for those with family members with special needs.If you must use a portable space heater, do so safely.Periodically check nearby objects to see if they feel hot.Ĭheck to make sure it has an Underwriters Laboratories safety label and an automatic shutoff device that turns the heater off if it tips over or becomes too hot.
