Evacuation
precautions are being implemented in certain suburbs -
Here are a few tips
to consider before leaving, that could safeguard your property:
- Clear items
that will burn from around the property including woodpiles, lawn
furniture, portable braai's etc. Move them as far away from
the house as possible.
- Shut off any
gas installations.
- Remove or open
curtains, blinds or drapes.
- Move your
furniture to the middle of the room away from windows.
- Close all doors
inside the building to prevent drafts.
- Turn outside
lights on and leave a light on in every room to make the house more
visible in heavy smoke.
- Download photos
and important documents onto a back-up hard drive if you can't take
your computer with you.
- Place valuable
papers, mementos and anything you can't live without in your car ready
for quick departure.
