Three Ways to Minimize Radiation Exposure Time, Distance, and Shielding. Time- Most radioactivity loses its strength fairly quickly. Limiting the
time spent near the source of radiation reduces the amount of radiation exposure you will receive. Following an accident, local authorities will monitor any release of radiation and determine the level of protective actions and when the threat has passed.
Distance- The more distance between you and the source of the radiation, the less radiation you will receive. In the most serious nuclear power plant accident, local officials will likely call for an evacuation, thereby increasing the distance between you and the radiation.
Shielding- Like distance, the more heavy, dense materials between you and the source of the radiation, the better. This is why local officials could advise you to remain indoors if an accident occurs. In some cases, the walls in your home or workplace would be sufficient shielding to protect you for a short period of time.

Water
Water Department shutoff wheel or lever operated Inside water shutoff
The Water Department shutoff cuts off the supply of water to the entire house. The inside water shutoff also cuts off supply to the home except for the supply of water for the fire sprinklers if the home is equipped with them.

Electricity
How to Shut Off Your Electricity It is important to know where all your home’s electrical panels are located
and how to turn the electricity off in case of emergency. (There may be more than one panel.)
Your home may be equipped with fuses or circuit breakers. If your house has fuses, you will find a knife switch handle or pullout fuse that
should be marked "MAIN." If your home has circuit breakers, you may need to open the metal door of
the breaker box to reveal the circuit breakers (never remove the metal cover). The main circuit breaker should be clearly marked showing “ON” and “OFF” positions.
Remove all the small fuses or turn off all the small breakers first, then shut off the “MAIN."
If you have any sub-electrical panels next to the main fuse box or breaker panel or in other parts of the home, in an emergency shut them off, too. Shorts can sometimes develop that cause a circuit to bypass the breaker or fuse.
