SAFETY IS OUR TOP PRIORITY and we want to ensure that you and your family know how to safely respond to common household situations and potential emergencies. Here are our top three safety tips for you, along with additional information and factsheets listed below.
- REQUEST OUR EMERGENCY CONTACT MAGNET
Keep Palo Alto emergency phone numbers handy for problems like flooding storm drains, power outages, sewer backups, and natural gas leaks. Call 650-329-2161 or email us at cpau@cityofpaloalto.org to request one!
- ASK FOR ASSISTANCE BEFORE ADJUSTING UTILITY METERS AND VALVES
If you need your water, natural gas or electricity turned off at the meter for any reason; avoid problems by FIRST calling the City of Palo Alto Utilities (CPAU) at (650) 329-2579, 24 hours a day. Remember, all utility meters and valves are City property and shouldn't be tampered with.
Avoid costly mistakes, such as digging into buried utilities, by calling Underground Service Alert (USA) at 800-227-2600 or (from land lines only) dial 811 two working days prior to digging in your yard.
