Utility Shutoffs and Other Resources
Kowing how to shut off utilities in your home is important because an emergency situation might call for gas, water and/or electricity to be shut off for safety. Having the skills and knowledge on how to turn off utilities without having to look it up is important. It saves time and you won't always be able to look up how to turn them off.
