When your home is flooding or when you realize that it has been flooded, it is important that you keep yourself and your family safe. There are many people that focus too much on saving their home or their possessions and end up getting hurt or getting someone else hurt.
The first and third come on their own. There are enough people preparing for the season that you can't help but notice its coming. The second comes when you decide to put your own up. Transforming your house into a Christmas home is a joyous occasion.
Every time you turn on the lights, your heart skips a beat. Every time you turn them off, something dies within you. There is nothing quite like your own home, filled with Christmas decorations. There are so many ways to decorate that each house is a unique experience.
You just have to walk into another's house to notice that some things are similar, but there are very many things that are different. Most everyone uses a form of Christmas lights for instance. They wrap the tree. They adorn the walls. They cover the roof.
If you have time to move things in your home, start by moving your moveable appliances upstairs. Get your television sets, computers, stereos or even your microwave upstairs to ensure that they have the best chance of avoiding contact with the water.
It can be tempting to see if the power still works when there is no longer floodwater in your home. It can be very dangerous to turn on your power before an electrician has inspected your home to ensure that you are going to be safe when you turn on the power.
Wait until an electrician is able to make it to your home before you turn any power on. This way, you know that you are not going to be putting yourself or your loved ones at risk by trying to turn on the power.
The packaging will tell you if they have or not. A tested set of lights has been tested to see if it is likely to cause fire damage within the home. Strands that make it through are safe for normal home use. You take a risk with non-tested lights. When you get ornaments, make sure they are fire proof. Christmas lights get hot, regardless of how safe they are.
Ornaments hang all around these hot lights and can catch fire if left too close for too long. Make sure they're fireproof-for at least fire retardant-before placing them anywhere near a bulb. If you decide to use candles as part of your dcor, stick to your normal safety rules. Don't leave them unattended.
Don't place anything flammable near or above it. Never put them in the tree, even though they would look beautiful there. Keep them in stable holders. Hot wax can start a fire just as easily as a flame.
Making a plan for a flood may not seem like a necessity now, but should there ever be a flood you will be glad that you had a plan. Take time to make your plan as you are getting settled to ensure that you and your family will be safe in your home.
