Checking Household Items

Checking Household Items

• Normal household items, such as cleaning products, can cause toxic fumes and other hazards if they mix. See our household chemical safety tips.

• Spilled chemicals that don’t pose a health risk must still be carefully cleaned up. Wear rubber gloves and discard spilled chemicals and rags used for cleaning according to the advice of local authorities.

• Throw away food, beverages and medicine exposed to heat, smoke or soot. Food that was in the freezer can be used if it still has ice crystals on it. If not, discard it.

Make Sure to:

• Stay out of any building that has water around it.

• Keep away from loose or dangling power lines. Report them immediately to the power company.

• Contact your insurance agent. Do not discard damaged goods until an inventory has been taken. Save receipts for money spent relating to fire loss. Your insurance agent may provide immediate help with living expenses until you are able to return home and may offer assistance for repairs.
