How do/when should I shut off the gas to my house?
If you are in your house during an earthquake, make sure all your appliances are turned off when the shaking stops. For the next several hours, avoid using any electrical switches, appliances, or the stove, particularly if you suspect a gas leak.
If you hear or smell a gas leak, shut off gas at the main valve leading to your gas meter. Instructions for shutting off the gas valve are shown in the front of your telephone book. You do not need to shut off the gas unless you hear a leak or smell gas.
