• Keep a list of emergency phone numbers handy, including numbers for your local Police, Fire, Ambulance, State Emergency Service, Local Council, Gas and Electricity Company and relatives.
• Find out how and where to turn off power, gas and water supplies.
• Check that you have adequate household and contents insurance and which hazards are not covered by the policy.
• Store your important documents (eg wills, passports, photos, birth certificates) in a fire/water-proof container or safe deposit box.
