Electricity is a serious matter.

Turn off power sources only when the surrounding area is dry.

If you smell gas, turn off the cylinder. Turn off gas immediately if the smell is present. Open all the windows in the home and exit as quickly as you can.

It’s best to get back home quickly so that you do not have to switch the lights on.

Avoid candles. Use a light source such as a torch.

Clean the house

Wash walls, flooring, stairs, and surfaces of furniture with water and soap. You can use water that has been diluted with bleach or disinfectant.

Cleaning objects such as fridges, tables, shelving, and kitchen appliances that come into contact with food can be hazardous.

You should also clean up the area where children play.

Drying items like mattresses in the sunlight is a great way to dry out any item that can’t be cleaned. Next, spray the disinfectant liquid.

Clean and wash your carpet.

You should remove any items that are difficult to clean or can be broken.

Use rubber boots or waterproof gloves to remove any standing water.

Home-drying

Opening all doors and windows if the house was closed for several days. Allow it to sit in place for 30 minutes prior to staying for long periods of time.

* Turn on the fan immediately after ensuring that electricity is safe to use. It is important to remove damp air in order to prevent mold.

Do not forget to wash yourself with soap and clean water after you have finished cleaning your house.

• Keep children and animals outdoors.
