Pre-Earthquake Appliance Care

  • Anchor large appliances to walls.
  • Attach child locks to refrigerator doors.
  • Check for gas leaks.
    • Use your senses to check for a gas leak. 
    • A hissing sound mat indicates a leak, as would a rotten egg odor. If eitherare detected, immediately open windows and head far outside the home. 
    • Never walk around with a lit match searching for a leak. Flip on electrical switches, use appliances or even use a cell phone — sparks can ignite gas from broken lines.

Post-Earthquake Appliance Care

  • Assess damage.
  • Turn off all electrical and gas appliances.
  • Confirm appliances or electronics are not damaged before plugging them back in.
  • Ensure there are no present electrical issues including downed or broken power lines. 
  • Know where the gas shutoff valve is located and how to switch it off. 
    • Often located in the basement near the ceiling with a large yellow handle.
    • If you live in an earthquake-prone, consider purchasing earthquake-actuated shut-off valves for individual appliances.
    • Main or street-side valves are turned off using a wrench. Keep the appropriate tool nearby. 
  • Remain calm.
