Step 3: Easy ways to protect your home

Take the time to find the important utilities in your home and learn how to turn them off. You should be able to turn off your water, electricity and gas in an emergency. Gas can be tricky – you may want to get an expert to teach you that one. Then, show the rest of the family how to do it too. Dolans tip: store any special tools you need near the shut off points, so you don’t have to search for them in a hurry.

Next step: Make sure you have the right homeowners insurance coverage before a disaster hits.
