Gas odor: leave without using switches or electronics and call 911 or the gas utility from outside.
For an active water leak, close the nearest safe shutoff or the main water valve. Keep people and pets away from sewage and from standing water near electrical equipment.
When calling, describe what is happening now—not what you think the hidden cause is. Mention active flooding, sewage, gas odor, loss of water or a leaking water-heater tank first.
