I've harvested these from mutual aid groups in LA and from the CAL FIRE website where they give you advice on what to do if you're evacuating. The first thing that you'll want to do is turn off your gas. For those of you who are not familiar, this is a flammable substance. And your gas pipe rupturing and then catching on fire would be bad, would be sad. It's pretty easy to do this.

Normally, you should have a valve near the meter. Some places will have what's called an earthquake shutoff or an earthquake valve where you won't need a tool. I'm not sure that... In fact, I'm pretty certain those are not mandatory, even in California, because I've lived places that don't have them. Then again, there are things that are mandatory that landlords just aren't doing.

I think we all know that.

Yeah, yeah. Given that people outside of California are listening and the earthquakes are fortunately not coming for us all just yet, I would just suggest that you try and find where your gas shutoff is now. It's often where the gas comes into the property, like if there's a gas meter. And normally you're going to need some kind of tool to turn that.

What I've used normally is just like an adjustable spanner or wrench, for those of you in the United States.

Yeah, yes, yeah. Hi, fellow Californians. You can turn that valve so it turns parallel with the pipe. And that's going to shut off the gas coming into your house. Do you mean perpendicular to the pipe? I'm curious. I think parallel is shut off.

Yeah, let me have a look. I'm checking now. Yeah, sorry, it wants to be at 90 degrees to the pipe. So it should be in line with the pipe when you start at 90 degrees to the pipe when you turn it off.
