What should I do while waiting for emergency repair services?

First, ensure everyone's safety and evacuate if necessary. Turn off utilities if there's damage to gas, electric, or water lines. Document damage with photos. Cover exposed areas with tarps if safe to do so. Don't attempt major repairs yourself.
