October 17 is Shake Out Day!
In the wake of recent earthquakes in the news, safety has been at the forefront of our minds. It’s a stark reminder that preparedness is key when it comes to facing emergencies. That’s why I want to share a video I created a few years ago, demonstrating a nifty tool that could potentially save lives in the event of a gas emergency.
This tool is a wrench, an unassuming but incredibly valuable addition to your emergency preparedness kit. What makes it special is where you can store it – right on your gas meter. It’s an affordable and readily available item that you can pick up at your local hardware store.
In times of crisis, being able to turn off the gas supply to your home swiftly can be a life-saver. Gas leaks are a common hazard during earthquakes, and having the right tool at hand to take quick action is essential. By attaching a wrench to your gas meter, you’re ensuring that you have the means to shut off the gas supply without fumbling for the right tool when every second counts.
