-- How Will You Use This Story? --


(OPEN):
"HURRICANE HARVEY" IS PUTTING MANY HOMES AT RISK FOR SEVERE FLOODING.  AND, DAVE QUANDT [AS IN "QUANTUM"], OF "AMERICAN HOME SHIELD"--A LEADING HOME-WARRANTY PROVIDER, WITH MORE THAN TWO-THOUSAND ELECTRICAL CONTRACTORS, ACROSS THE NATION--SAYS THAT PEOPLE NEED TO KEEP ELECTRICAL SAFETY IN MIND, WHEN FLOOD-DAMAGE OCCURS...

(QUANDT):
"
DON'T UNDERESTIMATE THE EXTENT OF DAMAGE THAT WATER AND ELECTRICITY CAN CAUSE, WHEN COMBINED.  IF FLOODING IS IMMINENT, TURN OFF ALL POWER AND WATER TO THE HOME--AND UNPLUG ALL APPLIANCES AND OTHER ITEMS.  IF YOU HAVE TO EVACUATE YOUR HOME, DO SO AS SOON AS LOCAL AUTHORITIES ADVISE.  JUST KNOW THAT--WHEN YOU RETURN--YOU SHOULD TAKE EXTREME CAUTION, WHEN ENTERING ANY AREAS WITH STANDING WATER.  OUTDOORS, CHECK FOR DAMAGE TO THE ELECTRIC-METER AND THE WEATHER-HEAD, WHERE POWER COMES INTO YOUR HOME.  ALSO, CHECK FOR ANY DOWNED POWER-LINES--AND REPORT THEM TO YOUR UTILITY-COMPANY, RIGHT AWAY.  ASSUME THAT SUCH LINES ARE LIVE--AND DON'T GO NEAR THEM.  IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS ABOUT THE SAFETY OF A PROPERTY, CONTACT A LOCAL PROFESSIONAL, TO ASSESS THE DAMAGE."
