PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS
----------------------------------
DO NOT GO SIGHTSEEING WITHIN IMPACTED COMMUNITIES SIMPLY TO OBSERVE
STORM DAMAGE. SIGHTSEERS CAN INTERFERE WITH THE TIMELINESS OF
RESCUERS AND FIRST RESPONDERS TO NEEDLESSLY JEOPARDIZE LIVES.
WHEN INSPECTING DAMAGE, USE FLASHLIGHTS RATHER THAN CANDLES OR FLAMED
LIGHTING. BE AWARE OF SPARKS THAT CAN IGNITE LEAKING GAS OR OTHER
FLAMMABLES.
DO NOT GO UP ON YOUR ROOF UNTIL THE RAIN AND STRONG WINDS HAVE
SUBSIDED. LADDERS CAN BE SLIPPERY IN THE RAIN AND UNEXPECTED WIND
GUSTS CAN BLOW YOU OFF OF THE ROOF. DO NOT RISK BODILY HARM IN AN
ATTEMPT TO REDUCE PROPERTY DAMAGE.
WHEN CLEARING OUT FALLEN TREES, BE CAREFUL WITH CHAIN SAWS AND AXES.
ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE GEAR AND KEEP OTHERS AT A SAFE DISTANCE. USE
THESE TOOLS ACCORDING TO OPERATING MANUALS AND SAFETY INSTRUCTION.
LEANING TREES AND THOSE WHICH HAVE FALLEN ON ROOF TOPS CAN BE
ESPECIALLY CHALLENGING. IF YOU ARE NOT IN GOOD HEALTH OR UNSURE ABOUT
WHAT YOU ARE DOING, HAVE SOMEONE ELSE WITH TREE CUTTING EXPERIENCE DO
THE JOB. NEVER CUT TREES WITHOUT A PARTNER.
IF USING A GENERATOR, AVOID CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING BY FOLLOWING
INSTRUCTIONS BY THE MANUFACTURER. MAKE SURE THAT THE GENERATOR IS RUN
IN A WELL VENTILATED SPACE.
