There are many articles and suggestions on how to stay safe prior to and during a storm, but not many people ever share tips on how to maintain safety after the storm has passed.

Often times after a storm individuals want to go out and assess the damage done to their community, but this will typically lead to more issues for the emergency personnel and those working to restore the town.

Below are three easy steps to ensure your safety following a storm:

1. Do not venture outside until it has been declared safe
2. Stay away from downed power lines and avoid standing water
3. Leave and do not enter buildings that have sustained structural damage

By following these three steps, the safety of yourself and those around you will be significantly increased.
