September is Preparedness Month, providing Corvallis homeowners and businesses with an opportunity to prepare for unexpected property damage before it happens. Fire and water emergencies can occur with little warning, but having a plan can help reduce confusion and speed up your response. Water damage may come from a broken pipe, appliance failure, roof leak, plumbing problem, or heavy rain. Fire damage can result from cooking, electrical equipment, heating systems, or other hazards.
Consider these preparedness steps:
• Test smoke and carbon monoxide alarms
• Know the location of your main water shutoff
• Save important emergency contacts
• Review evacuation and fire safety plans
