Something so simple & inexpensive, that can save so much expense later! Not to mention the safety issues of a broken gas line! I bought some, & a friend installed them for me. I feel such peace of mind knowing it's done!

Earthquake straps for water heater
I recently attended an earthquake safety meeting given by the Dept Homeland Security. One thing she stressed was earthquake straps for your water heater. I know people in California have these. I live in Utah where earthquakes are a risk too, but I'd never heard of them. She said that the most common reason you have to turn of your gas is because the water heater tips over & breaks the gas line. I looked online when I got home, & you can get these for under $20!
