In most cases, turning off your gas service during a hurricane is only necessary if advised by local authorities or your gas utility company.
If you suspect a gas leak, evacuate your home immediately, avoid ignition sources, and contact your gas utility company’s emergency hotline to report the issue.
Homeowners insurance policies typically cover gas line damages caused by hurricanes or other covered perils. However, it is important to review your policy and consult an attorney to understand the specifics of your coverage and claims process.
