POST DISASTER INSTRUCTIONS FOR CITIZENS


          Remain at  the shelter until you are informed that you may leave.
          People will not be allowed  back  into  an  evacuated  area until
          Public  Health   and  Building  Officials  have  completed  their
          inspections and have given their approval.

          1. Do not become apathetic! Remain alert and aware of downed     
             power lines and other potential hazards.
          2. Listen for advisories on the radio or TV concerning the use of
             water from the tap. A very severe storm could cause damage to
             underground pipes and water mains. If you have  been notified 
             that the  water is safe to drink in your area allow the water to
             run  from the tap for at least one minute before use. If you   
             lost  water  service  check  with  your water utility before  
             using it again. If you suspect  the water  may be  contaminated                boil it at high temperature for 15 minutes before using it.
          3. If your home has flooded have an electrician check your 
             electrical system before turning the power back on. Do not
             plug your appliances back in until the power is safely
             restored.
          4. If you seem to have power in only part of your home check your
             main disconnect panel for blown fuses or tripped circuit
             breakers. NEVER TOUCH THE PANEL WHILE  STANDING  ON  A  WET   
             SURFACE.

             driven to higher ground due to flood water.
          6. Enter  your home  with caution.  Open windows  and doors  to  
             ventilate and dry your home.

             utilities. Please do NOT call 911 to report an outage. Use
