Take
these steps to protect your family and property before
and after a flood, hurricane or severe storm.
Getting ready
for a flood or hurricane:
|
- Properly
secure the propane tank, if possible.
- Turn
off the gas supply valve at the tank (“righty, tighty.”)
- Fasten
the protective dome on the tank.
- Turn
off appliance pilot lights, control valves and manual
shut-off valves.
- Ensure
there is an adequate supply of fuel in the tank.

|
After the flood or hurricane has passed, look for visible
structural damage, including damaged external venting
and vent caps.
Call your propane dealer or a qualified technician
if:
|
- You
smell propane gas.
- Your
propane tank has shifted or moved.
- The
tank regulator has been exposed to water.
- The
gas lines are broken, bent, damaged or have pulled away
from the propane tank or appliances.
- Propane
appliances or their controls have been exposed to water.
