After a storm passes, cleanup can present its own hazards. Before removing debris, watch for downed power lines, unstable trees, damaged structures and hidden sharp objects. Wear sturdy shoes, gloves and other appropriate protective equipment when cleaning up storm damage.

Never touch downed utility lines, and use caution when operating chainsaws or other power equipment. Taking a few extra minutes to work safely can help prevent injuries during recovery.
