When your area has been deemed safe, you can return home. Inspect the outside of your home and look out for fallen objects and any safety hazards that have been created because of the event. Let the proper authorities know of the hazards that you noticed such as dead animals or fallen power lines. Once the outside parameter is clear you can make your way inside.
Returning home isn’t always the easiest, especially if there was a lot damage done to your property. Begin by cleaning up the property, and looking out for any potentially dangerous objects such as broken glass. Many of the injuries related to a disaster occur while the cleaning is being done.
