If so, text &#8220;Shelter&#8221; and your zip code to FEMA (43362).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid downed powerlines. Even if they look inactive, wires may still carry a<br>live current.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid using lighters or flames. Even if you don\u2019t smell gas, there may still be<br>a leak.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use generators safely. Vent generators outside. Carbon monoxide poisoning<br>comes fast and can be deadly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Monitor the radio. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stay informed and safe by tuning your radio to reliable local news or emergency services.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shieldagency.com\/file-a-claim-carriers.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"File your claim from the Shield Insurance Agency website.\">File your claim from the Shield Insurance Agency website.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shield Insurance wants to help you get your life back on track as fast as possible.
